Bio
These guys - mark, jamey, todd, steve, chris - they don't know any better. they sit in basements and play way too loud. they sit on front porches with cold beer and crack jokes until its way too late. they talk way too much about guitars, drummers, the perfect groove, Jimmy Pages' studio tricks, and rhythm section legends. they love life way too much. they live it to the fullest, or at least until they are too exhausted. the poor lads, they really don't have a choice. they love what they love. they are who they are. They could not exist without art, songs, and pretty girls. But for the moment, they don't really exist at all.

Press: . . . "with writing that seeks to impact the listener at a deeper level than just entertainment." "One aspect that I was impressed by was the appealing nature of the music to basic good American music. It is obvious on the first listen that the members of this band are students of good music. Dynamic, soulful and pure is the way one could label the spirit of this band. The Mooncussers are cool because they are just good at what they do." The Independent Music Scene "an alt-country all-star team of sorts . . . stirred by the "No Depression" school of rock, there's something satisfying for you in these twangy barroom ballads. They go down a lot easier than the whiskey that undoubtedly inspired them." Chris Deville, Alive! "a brag-worthy lineup.May digs deep into his Kentucky roots, cranking out twangy tunes that follow in Columbus’s tradition of amped-up Americana acts like the Haynes Boys and Big Back Forty . . . like Counting Crows if Adam Duritz had balls" "some Replacements-style grit, and like the Drive-By Truckers, he’s as much at home with a wailing electric guitar as he is with acoustic picking." "when May sings, “It’s hard to love you when you don’t come home,” and those country-style leads echo the sentiment, you realize there’s no reason for the Mooncussers to break new ground when the soil’s still fertile."
