The new record is out and has a lot of surprises (hopefully all good ones). Our canvas, our backdrop for these songs is our beautiful, sad, lonely, stark, funny and sometimes absurd ohio valley. hey, i guess those are characteristics that pretty much define anywhere. we can't wait for everyone to hear it, featuring great drumming by brian, some really far out and exciting guitar from cliff and the man who never slows down (especially not on a bass), pete. i'm on there too, trying to get it all cooking hot. people, we love you. thanks for coming to see us play or get the hell out of the house and see us more often, one of the two. pax, matt

West Virginia’s one and only, The Trainjumpers, create a sound that’s been described as “Appalachian soul music.” The four-piece band from Wheeling released its debut CD, “Deadtown,” in January 2007. The recording presents the band’s exciting mix of roots music, harmonies and soulful backbeats, a real melting pot of Americana music. The Trainjumpers have opened for a number of great artists including Galactic, Tony Rice & Larry Keel ,Culture, Bobby Lee Rogers & The CodeTalkers ,The Hackensaw Boys and many more . Trainjumpers music is steeped in the Mountain State – it’s rustic, ragged and runs deep.
