Sounds Like
Some think we have an early '70s sort of sound, it's just prime rock and roll, 3 piece without the bullshit.
3 guys who got tired of hearing the same old bullshit on the radio all day long. Ever have a song that you can't stand be constantly repeated on the radio until you know the damn thing? That's how this country works, they left their more prestigious situations, started carrying their own equipment again and created music that they want to hear.
Good old, 3 piece ass kicking rock!!!...................................................................................................... ..............................................................................................................
Hello lovelies... I wanted to let you all know that I am un-forming the band. It is a sad thing, I know, but I have had a major emotional breakthrough over the last year and want to do something more imortant for me and others(I want to live a more normal life, touring and faking about the industry is killing me). I have decided to get involved in social work. I will keep the profile up and maintain it in memory of a great rock and roll band. I also leave you with two of the new songs that were to appear on the new record "Living with the pain" and "Save yourself". From time to time I will put up new songs that are being written only for 12 string guitar and voice, yes my horrible voice, when I have the balls to do it.
Please stay in touch...
Cheers..love you all...Ron.

You have got to let me make you a pretty myspace page. Seriously. I made the Rattleshakes a pretty one. They're in my top friends if you want to go look at the layout.
You need some color. Or...lack of color since I know you like black.
