Sounds Like"American Relay, Corn & Oil (Self-released). Nick Sullivan and Alex Hebert's two-man blues assault is thick as Quaker State and has the muscle of a '68 Pontiac GTO. This souped-up hot rod is screaming down the highway with some fuel-injected fuzzy Delta blues under the hood. Jump in and take a ride." — Jon Solomon - Westword, Denver, 2007~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "...a two-man tsunami of distorted Delta blues, '60s British R&B and lead-footed garage rock that's not afraid to bow down before Led Zeppelin." Jason Heller - Westword, Denver, 2006 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~" Imagine a whiskey-fueled bar brawl between the late R.L. Burnside, Hank III and Deadboy & the Elephantmen's Dax Riggs and you'll see American Relay somewhere in there, throwing forceful punches but also holding up those who came before them with thankful admiration." - Ricardo Baca - Denver Post, 2007 'POOR BOY'-Deep Blues Festival 2008 'SON HOUSED'-Deep Blues Festival 2008

   About AMERICAN RELAY
Welcome to the official American Relay myspace page. We are a two man band. We live in Colorado. We like old music. Hillcountry blues, pre-war blues, old timey folk and gospel, early rock and roll, garage, r&b, motown, soul and stuff like that. We also like some modern stuff too. So we started a band in in 2004 and decided we would make the kind of music we wanted to hear, to create a sound that incorporates the old with the new and that rocks too. We play hard, we like to sweat for you. We don't fit nicely into any genre, and we kind of like it that way. We hope you might too. Thanks for stopping by. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Corn and Oil" is American Relay's self produced full length LP released June 23rd of 2007 and will be for sale at all future shows and soon on the interweb. Engineered by Clark Hagan (Chet Atkins) and Brett Stuart (Backstreet Boys, Steven Seagal, SNAP) Corn and Oil displays the harmony of analog and digital gear coming into mix with American Relay's throw back sound.

AVAILABLE NOW AT CD BABY.COM!!!

Bummer about you guys breaking up. I know how it goes though. Hope you put something else together and cruise out to Reno soon. We could use a brother-band.  Micheal Jackson Tribute, maybe?!? LOL. It would at least have to be James Brown!
