Sounds Like
A sad night of whiskey and blood, walking the streets looking for fights. Smoking cigarettes and chewin' long cut. Smells like cheap beer and dirty laundry.
Conceived one night over a few ice cold cans of domestic, in the closest thing the city of San Luis Obispo can call a Honky-Tonk , the ol' 1019 McCarthy's Irish Pub. Red Eye Junction, brainchild of Dr. Cain and C.C. Hoffman conjures the spirit of the hard hitting Country and Western/ honky tonk music from the days gone bye. Buck Dylan and Jackpot Jonny Clarke round out the band and seal the deal. Red Eye Junction understands the true essence of what classic country and western/ honky tonk music embodies yet throwing a few extra punches and a few bonus roundhouse kicks to update the sound. No generic bullshit here, just good ole' country music born and bred in the heart of the Central Coast California.
Don't take our word for it...
"...sounds like a buzz saw nasally cutting through burly logs made of western legends. The quartet of twanking countrified rednecks delivers a covered wagon full of originals that so perfectly fit the AM radio western music idiom you'd swear you've heard them before." Glen Starkey (San Luis Obispo New Times)
"Red Eye Junction drifts along the path of traditional Country and Western music and takes it a step further. Like their heroes Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams, and Johnny Cash, REJ present a classic yet surprisingly fresh take on hard hittin’ American country music. REJ hits the stage with the swagger of the great outlaw country artist and the professionalism of their contemporary counter parts. Their original numbers sound like they would fit right in on your favorite Country Gold radio stations play list. REJ has respect for the guys who wrote the book and broke the mold of the watered down Nashville style. Make it a point to get on board next time they hit your town. Be sure to bring plenty a fightin’ words, whiskey money, and your cheatin’ heart…" Mr. Stu (SLO resident genius, Worlds 1 Hank Thompson fan)
"It sounds like a loose case of empties bouncing around in the rusted-out bed of a Ford F150 that hauling ass down the interstate." Nemski.com
"This is the worst crap I have ever heard, the singer sounds like a old goat who has been living on a diet of tin cans trying to sing. You could never play this garbage on the radio, so why bother writing songs and recording them? Is there anything more ridiculous? I hope they all have strokes and die!" Dr. Cain's Mom
"Where did all my beers go you jerks?!" Steven Watson (Pennyjar)
