Sounds LikeOutlaw-Garage, dustbowl rock n' roll. Definitely harkens back to the good ole days when music had soul. A powerhouse rhythm section backing raunchy, well-thought-out guitar riffs with wicked, blues-inspired, slowhand leads and fills. Vocals you can understand, performed with feeling. We've been called everything from Garage to Country-metal to Southern-punk but we think of ourselves as rock n' roll.
Type of LabelIndie

   About The Rail Riders
Deep-fat-fried, Southern-grudge, garage Rock n' Roll has never sounded so nasty! These guys look like real dust bowl trash! Are they for real? One things for certain...none of that got-no-soul, fancy-schmancy guitar noodlin' here, chiefs! Need proof? Just take a peek at their combined rock n' roll resume'- The Afflicted!! The Rockbusters!! The Yards!!!!! The SF Dogs!! Squat Thrust!! Touch me Hooker!!...just to name a few. Intrigued?... Let's investigate further... THE DOC - Tucson, Arizona. Who is this clown, anyway? Legend has it that this guy was born in a trailer park in Marana, Arizona. After playing in dirt ball bands in England and earning the title of Ph.D. in Rock n' Roll music from The University of Honk and Tonk in Opp, Alabama (where he won honors for his raunchy,down n' dirty, slowhand guitar style), he moved to LA to work as a surf instructor and architect in Santa Monica. Also a graduate of the Handsome Boy Modeling School, this is one hombre who knows how to woo the ladies. They swoon at his feet, worshipping his golden vocal chords...making Rail Riders concerts the best place to pick up on the Doc's leftovers. See him in action and you'll agree. Few know, but our hero can whip up a mean bowl of "tripas' con leche", or try his specialty..."tacos ojos". Nice work, Chief!!!! Next up is (here comes trouble)....THE SAMURAI- San Fransisco, California. Step back when he pulls out his sword. The Samurai came out of Sunland (after making a dusty bar for Cochella) when he ran into a couple of fools off the beaten path and the rail ridin' began. The Samurai is the only bass player in the world who knows how to hit the mysterious "brown note". He'll often strike this chord in front of an unsuspecting audience. The results can be quite messy...if one isn't wearing a diaper. Full-term cats drop their litters. Ouch!! Our bass-playing heartthrob loves the ladies but be careful girls...the samurai has a thing for brothels and has been known to touch a hooker or two. Balls of steel, indeed. Incredible!!! Also part of the most sought after rhythm section in the west, including (drum-roll please)...THE TORNADO (or TNT)- Austin, Texas. Our sources say that a down-on-his-luck Tornado was bustin' rocks in the hot, west Texas, desert sun when he spotted his chance for escape. While dodgin' bullets he was struck by a rattlesnake. Surely he would die from the wound if the approaching police with their dogs and guns didn't kill him first. This is the part where the story gets thick... According to legend, Satan himself appeared out of thin air and offered this escaped convict a deal he could not refuse- He would cure the Tornado of his snakebite and stall the police long enough to get away,...for a price....his soul. Needless to say our hero was enjoying too many margaritas on a beautiful Mexican beach when ol' Scratch came a-calling for what was rightfully his. Now, any man worth his salt knows that the devil is a sucker for a game of table tennis and the Tornado, ever the trickster, was Texas state champ four years running. Hell had never witnessed such a bizarre spectacle as the vicious four-day match that ensued, with our hero's soul as the prize!!....Well,low and behold, the Tornado won (not only the match and his soul, but he also earned his trademark nickname- the Texas Tornado or TNT for short). Satan was furious at losing the TNT's soul and swore that he would have his revenge.....someday. He's PISSED!! Watch out, Tornado!! Image Hosted by ImageShack.us About Me

DO you know whats on most girl's minds but they won't tell you or will they.
I am telling you this because it is the honest truth, look I should know, they say that it is all in the way you use it, not how big it is, well I got news for you all, that is pure lies.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that arlin has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow pills from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them. CPUPPY.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with pill bottles in it, there was like 9 full bottles and 4 empty ones, all ordered from CPUPPY.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his prick and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 bottles from the website at CPUPPY.COM for you know who.. he does not have a myspace account, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the pills will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing. CPUPPY.COM
