Myles, the Mother Truckers, Piper Downs, Minibar, Dogma I, SRV, Satellite, Truckers on Speed, The Miggs, Bob Schneider, Los Lobos, Calexico, Beethoven, Push Stars, Lemonheads, AC/DC, Sun Volt, Tchaikovsky, Pistoleros, the guy with no hands who plays guitar on san diego street corners, did i mention The Replacements?, Greatful Dead, Caddle, Chicken, Dave Alvin, Dead Milkmen, Elvis Costello, Anya Marina, sex, Camper Van Beethoven, Bob Marley, Blazers, Albert King, Eric Clapton, Ghetto Cowgirl, Gin Blossoms, Jet, Led Zeppelin, Meat Puppets, Metallica, Misfits, Skynrd, Bukowski, Reverend Horton Heat, Townes Van Zant, Steve Miller, They Might Be Giants, Uncle Tupelo, Matthew Sweet, Young Dubliners, Thin Lizzy, alcohol, Stray Cats, Stephen Ashbrook, Simon and Garfunkel, Social Distortion, REM, U2, everything from the 60's that made people feel something, Haggis, Guns n Roses, Todd Snider, Dylan Thomas Vance, Miles Davis of course, etc...

Sounds Like:

The Refreshments with a different singer, the Replacements with exactly 1/50th less alcohol, Sublime minus 99% of all the reggae, Gin Blossoms + Old 97's, Tom Petty + AC/DC, the Rugburns with slightly more electic guitars, Marah but not as good, 5 guys hoping they will one day collectively have balls as big as one of johnny cash's, or the (Wallflowers + Nirvana)/an orgy with Lynrd Skynrd, Axl Rose, Paul Westerberg, Albert King, and Christina Ricci = whatever you imagine coming out of that--- that's us...
