About Flatcar Rattlers

The Flatcar Rattlers are a raucous Bluegrass/Grime band with all the fixin's. They mix up rootsy backwoods Appalachia with fast punk rock to make up a distinct new-timey sound implanted with mountain songs and murder ballads. Austin360 described us as "...songster punk, uncorking a moonshine-laced attack that sounded as if it was conceived in a room somewhere in the North Carolina Appalachians, between a washtub bass and a stack of records by Hank William and the Clash."

With six members from six states, this bunch of ramblers eventually made camp in Austin, TX. While their day jobs range from making guitars to making airplanes, on stage the "Flatcar Rattlers howl and fiddle to beat the devil" as Doug Freeman of the Austin Chronicle stated. Their high octane live shows have created a nice buzz in a short time; ranking them in the top ten of Best New Bands and Best Bluegrass Bands according to The Austin Chronicles 2008-2009 Music Poll.
