Sounds Like
Twilit carny rock, raucous Americana stomp, road-weary heartland blooze, and dreamy lounge rock sung in growling, crooning baritone and gritty, soulful tenor backed by a semi-acoustic ensemble that includes punchy Les Pauls, fingerstyle acoustic and vintage resonator slide guitars, acoustic fretless bass, & drum kit w/ the occasional baritone guitar, jingle of the tambo, rattle of the vibraslap, and junkyard percussion.
Nestled between progressive indie and modern americana, The Resurrectionists are an eclectic 4-piece rock outfit comprised of a woodsman, a writer, an educator, and a scientist. Wry and restless, our songs chart a twilit course through family and faith, booze and the blues. We invite you to peep our website at www.theresurrectionists.com for all the latest.
So I decided to see if I could find any of your work on Limewire b/c I certainly will never pay for your music (j/k) and lo and behold it came up a ressurectionists porn link. If you guys were that adament about doing that kind of work why not stick w/ the original name of '7 Testicals'? At least then it would've kept w/ the theme. Keep on keepin on fellas :D
Incredible as always, m'friends - can't wait for the next one :) Oh, and that drummer...he has an uncanny resemblance to a friend of mine. Must be coincidental.
Unfortunately we gave out the chicken dinner early last nite as the dead line of Sunday Shootout came upon us...Hello Beautiful was the chicken dinner winner this week and they are crowned Band of the Week
Damnit Alex, I'm going to miss your show on 10/13. We're going to another show, but I'd love to see your gig since I've never seen the Red Elvises (or the Resurrectionsists!). Damn!
I heard you guys on the Flophouse! I really loved the sound. Very cool blend of folk, blues, celtic,... Keep it up! I missed the 14th. When's the next gig?
It was great playing with you guys in Jersey and NYC. You're making some seriously good music these days and we're looking forward to more collaboration in the future. Cheers to friendship and good times.
