Two Tons of Steel, Not That Lucky
Two Tons of Steel is an Austin-based hard-core country rock band
that pays equal attention to both the country and rock sides of the
equation. It has a loud, bold sound that could be called heavy metal
country. Dennis Fallon's sharp, twang heavy guitar and the over-the-top
vocals of singer, songwriter, and front man Kevin Geil steal most of
the spotlight, but the rhythm section of Chris Dodd on drums and Chris
Rhoades on standup and electric bass provides the earth-shaking beat
that sends this dynamite-loaded semi of a band screaming down the
highway. Hits include "Hold Over Me," a tough country love song, the
rockabilly rave-up of "Cryin' Eyes," the cow punk of "Bad Attitude,"
and "Bottom of the Bottle," a swinging nod to fellow Texan Bob Wills.
