Carrying on the musical traditions of burden and blessing that have been carried to them, The Rockford Mules are saltlick of the earth, blue collar sons of fathers who worked on their own cars in cold garages. Somewhere between the life you intended to live, and the one you found yourself in, came the need for a song. That need and song are the hoof and heart of this mule.
The songs draw on the earthy elements of southern rock and electric mud, infused with a 70's dirty denim sonic sneer. The lyrics are from a chapped desert hymnal. The drum and bass sound like the gold tooth snarl of a tough loved dog. The guitars have balls that only Goliath dare envy on his bravest day. This band is the real deal with a hard-earned authenticity you can't fake.
In addition to a few road trips around the Midwest, The Rockford Mules have been lucky enough to share the stage with the likes of Violent Femmes, Soul Asylum, and Lucero, and have twice appeared at the North vs. South Music Festival in Lawrence, Kansas. They are routinely played on local Minneapolis radio stations such as 89.3 the Current. In short, this is a genuinely great band that you should keep your eye on. See for yourself.
The new record, "From Devil's Spit to Angel Tears," is out. Buy it on Itunes, at the Electric Fetus or Cheapo. It's pretty good.
