Thanks for the request. Absolutely top shelf from the heart sonics....ya'll and Foddershock definitely now have fans in the woods of Texas. Although we "torque it up a bit" with our shows, we have our roots in the Real Deal. Our recording studio sits on two hundred acres of post oak woods about 50 miles from Austin....and we often break out the acoustics and write what we call real deal down to the earth coyote tunes and sing depression era, "old time" and "I See The Light" reverend Texas blues. Ya'll tunes are stellar. If ever in our neck of the woods, ya'll are welcome at our studio in the woods for jammin, recording and lodging (complete facilites for lodging)....just plain family country folks in the woods with a hell of a lot of technology at our fingers. Check out Lonesome Heroes on MYSpace....great duo in Austin with a fresh sound and also check out Los Duggans from California on MySpace....played on their Texas tour....they put it all in a sonic blender and switch on HIGH....yep old time revival sonics with a wash tub single string bass and a flying V "shedding" Gibson guitar....quite a mixture. Definitely will make yer feet tap. Best of everything to ya'll there in the Penn woods.
Thanks for hookin’ up with the torqued-up sonic TeXXXas hellbilly mayhem of TRASH ROCKETS.

Thanks for the kind words -- I know the recording you're talking about. My new cd is similar, with some country songs with drumms and pedal steel . . . maybe we'll see you up there next summer! : )
