HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT BUFFALO KILLERS' OHIO GRASS:

Buffalo Killers have nailed it with their latest release, "Ohio Grass" -  a tasty six-song nugget that shows the band still growing, and still mining the deep roots of their rich musical heritage, while also expanding their horizons with side dishes of Beatlesesque pop, and some Jamaican flavor added to the mix. - ROCK GUITAR DAILY

Effectively drawing from early ’70s touchstones like the psychedelic blues-rock of Mountain and the power-pop of Big Star, Buffalo Killers’ "Ohio Grass" is undeniably intoxicating. - DAYTON DAILY NEWS

Buffalo Killers' deft blend of vintage Psych Pop and swampy Blues Rock is certainly THC-friendly. - CINCINNATI CITY BEAT

"Ohio Grass" is a six cut Record Store Day release that carries on where Buffalo Killers' last record ("Dig. Sow. Love. Grow.") left off, which means it is pretty damn righteous. This is the rock you've been looking for.  - AUDIOFILE REVIEW

Buffalo Killers have been perfecting their warm classic rock sound over their last several albums which hit a high point on last summer’s fourth full length "Dig. Sow. Love. Grow." The band quickly returns here with this six song EP, "Ohio Grass," that shows that they have not lost one step and once again showcases their confident songwriting, playing and memorable melodies. - THE FIRE NOTE

Bridge of Love

One Night of the Week

From Brother Dege's new "Scorched Earth Policy" summer mixtape. Available digitally on June 15th through iTunes, CD Baby, etc.

Ever since his music has been featured in Quentin Tarantino's film Django Unchained as well as the Discovery Channel and the National Geographic Channel, Brother Dege (AKA Dege Legg) can no longer lay claim to being "one of the best kept secrets in the Deep South." Dege is a musician, writer, workingman and heir to a long line of unusual characters born and raised in the southern U.S. Like the mad lovechild of Son House, Faulkner and Patti Smith, Legg has burned a crooked trail to the Promised Land. Avoiding traditional career paths, he has spent as much time exploring the backwoods weirdness of his home state as he has forging his own brand of incendiary, "psyouthern" roots music. The journeys are parallel. Since the late '90s, Dege has pushed slide, resonators, and the Deep South, kicking and screaming into the 21st century, melding elements of folk, Delta blues, punk, rock, metal, hippie ragas and outlaw county into one blasted, raw whole.

Following his two previous acclaimed solo efforts (2009's Folk Songs Of The American Longhair & last year's How To Kill A Horse) Brother Dege is now set to release a unique digital "summer mixtape" entitled Scorched Earth Policy, featuring a mix of newly recorded studio songs, demos, covers and field recordings.

Dege explains the idea behind his new digital mixtape project, "I'm a big fan of southern rap culture, especially DJ Screw (Houston) and screw tapes. I love how hip-hop has bred this vibrant mixtape culture, rapping over each other's beats and songs.  Some of the songs are raw and unmastered and of varying quality, but I love that."

"In no way am I trying to rap, I'm paying tribute to the culture of the modern south and mix tapes, and just applying that idea to the realm of the slide guitar, delta blues and experimentalism."
 
"In the modern world of Pro-tools recording, there's an overemphasis on things being perfect. Things do not have to be perfect.  Much of this obsession with perfection has sucked the soul out of a lot of bands.  New music can be raw and flawed - warts and all - and still releasable to the public."

This 10-track LP (featuring six additional bonus tracks!) features the live touring version of The Stooges, along with a wealth of talented vocalists such as Jello Biafra, Mark Lanegan, Alison Mosshart, The Orwell's Mario Cuomo, Ariel Pink, Primal Scream's Bobby Gillespie, Carolyn Wonderland and others.

From Jeremy Pinnell's new album "OH/KY" out on SofaBurn Records July 24th.

Jeremy Pinnell, Northern Kentucky's son from across the river, is a soft-spoken man, born to an area that is equal parts Southern hospitality, Northern attitude and Midwestern charm. Raised from humble beginnings of singing in church and learning the guitar from his father, his craft quickly made heads turn and rooms fall silent. But with his departure from home at 18 to venture into the unknown with only his music, this young man soon found himself surrounded by the demons of the world he used to try and sing away. 
 
The stories told are true, not embellished folklore. (”With an almost uncomfortable accuracy — the kind of dark, ominous emotions most people try to bury" – Citybeat Cincinnati). Jeremy will not speak of them – only sing. While he has returned to his humble beginnings and is living an honest life, his experiences must be heard to be believed. They are real, and most importantly, never forgotten.
 
OH/KY tells the story of the next 18 years of Jeremy's life, and it's a damn good story. It has all the things people love to read about. And most of all, it's a true story that's ben recorded in the most honest way possible. Th album was cut over the course of three days in a recording studio located in the small river town of Covington, KY. THe group of players on the album are The 55s, a honky tonk band out of The Queen City who lay the foundation so Jeremy's voice can shin and his story can come to life. 
 
Jeremy Pinnell's new debut studio album OH/KY receives its worldwide release on July 24th via Sofaburn Records.

From Brother Dege's new "Scorched Earth Policy: Deluxe" CD out July 24, 2015.

Following his two previous acclaimed solo efforts (2009's "Folk Songs Of The American Longhair" & 2013's "How To Kill A Horse") Brother Dege released a unique 19-track digital "summer mixtape" last year entitled "Scorched Earth Policy," featuring a mix of newly recorded studio songs, demos, covers and field recordings. Now Dege has updated it into a more cohesive studio album, "Scorched Earth Policy: Deluxe," paring down some of the rougher demos and field recordings and has added four new studio tracks to it. This is the first time any of these songs will be available on CD.

Brother Dege's "Scorched Earth Policy: Deluxe" will be available July 24, 2015 on CD and digital formats.

Ever since his music has been featured in Quentin Tarantino's film Django Unchained, as well as the Discovery Channel and the National Geographic Channel, Brother Dege (AKA Dege Legg) can no longer lay claim to being "one of the best kept secrets in the Deep South." Dege is a musician, writer, workingman and heir to a long line of unusual characters born and raised in the southern U.S. Like the mad lovechild of Son House, Faulkner and Patti Smith, Legg has burned a crooked trail to the Promised Land. Avoiding traditional career paths, he has spent as much time exploring the backwoods weirdness of his home state as he has forging his own brand of incendiary, "psyouthern" roots music. The journeys are parallel. Since the late '90s, Dege has pushed slide, resonators, and the Deep South, kicking and screaming into the 21st century, melding elements of folk, Delta blues, punk, rock, metal, hippie ragas and outlaw county into one blasted, raw whole.

HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT BROTHER DEGE:
"Frankly, every track on the Brother Dege CD could have been in the movie [Django Unchained]. It works and has a badass score sound to it. Almost every song could be a theme song. It’s like a greatest hits album. But this song 'Too Old to Die Young'... it’s pretty damn badass. And it’s used in the movie in a pretty damn badass way, I’ve got to say.” - QUENTIN TARANTINO

“Fans of slide guitar, Southern gothic, or plain old rock & roll attitude need to run, not walk, and check out Brother Dege ASAP. Brother Dege is a case study in how one guy with a steel guitar and minimal accompaniment can out-rock a roomful of electric bombast, given the right songs, the right skills, and the right voice. Brother Dege has‘em all.” – POPMATTERS

“[Four Stars] In lesser hands all this might easily sound contrived, but instead it’s genuinely powerful and compelling stuff. 'The Girl Who Wept Stones' and 'Dead & Gone' might have been ripped from the Son House songbook, though the seven-minute epic 'House of the Dying Sun' is the real keeper.” – UNCUT

“Both ancient and modern, like an indie rock cover of something Lomax may have recorded a hundred years ago.” – BLOGCRITICS

"... an updated perspective of the age-old Delta blues." - OFFBEAT MAGAZINE

“Brother Dege brings the ghosts of kudzu-covered swamp rats to life in your speakers. Find the darkest spot in your backyard, light some candles and turn it up.” – THE BIG TAKEOVER

“... in the slide guitar Delta blues tradition, but with Legg’s own twist.” – CLASSIC ROCK MAGAZINE

BROTHER DEGE - Pay No Mind

Following the release of his debut solo single "Save Our Soul," Nick Amadeus, former frontman of the Milwaukee rock band The Delta Routine, will be releasing his follow-up single "Nothing Lasts Forever" featuring Laura Bomber on vocals on December 4th. Nick shares a bit more info on this Americana-leaning track, "This song is about staring down our own impermanence. You can't outrun it, you can’t hide from it. Life catches up with all of us. I really wanted to capture that raw honesty - not as something to fear, but as something that makes every moment matter more. Laura coming in and singing on it was special and really brought the song to its full potential."

These two new solo singles reflect Amadeus's recent creative evolution toward Americana and country influences, marking a significant shift from his rock-and-roll roots with his former band. This stylistic transformation has reignited his passion for songwriting and set the stage for an exciting new chapter in his career.

Fans of his previous work with The Delta Routine can expect to hear a more rootsy, authentic sound that demonstrates his growth as both a songwriter and performer.

Nick Amadeus' new single "Nothing Lasts Forever" wil be available on all DSPs December 4th. His previous single "Save Our Soul" is out now on all digital and streaming platforms. Both of these tracks are from Nick's forthcoming solo studio album due in the spring of 2026.

Nothing Lasts Forever

This is James Williamson's third and last single of the year. This time the guitar legend has teamed up with a talented 19 year-old singer/songwriter named Maia, who is currently attending Berklee College of Music in Boston for vocal music and composition.
 
Williamson's previous efforts this year included a collaboration with Petra Haden on "Blues Jumped The Rabbit" and "Last Kind Words" to benefit the Tazzy Animal Rescue Fund and a collaboration with Lisa Kekaula on "I Love My Tutu" and "Never Far From Where The Wild Things Are" to benefit Project Hawai'i which helps homeless children in Hawaii.
 
This third single will be the last record on which Williamson's iconic "Leopard Lady" guitar will be played. This guitar has been used on every record Williamson has made - from his first album with The Stooges, Raw Power, to the present.  He is donating both the Leopard Lady Les Paul Custom, as well as his Gibson B25N acoustic guitar to the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Museum for posterity. The latter acoustic is the guitar James wrote most of the music to Raw Power on and wrote and played on Kill City, which he recorded with Iggy Pop back in 1975. 
 
Williamson says of his young collaborator, "I first came into contact with Maia through my engineer in Berkeley, Jason Carmer. He played me something she had written and sang and I was instantly intrigued. I had him ask her to come down to the studio the next day (Maia is from San Francisco) and I was blown away by her enthusiasm, talent and the nuance of her vocals. We decided that day to write and record these songs together and this is the result of that effort.  We hope you like them as much as we do."
 
James Williamson and Maia’s “Sickkk” / “I Made A Mistake” single is out November 11th on 7-inch vinyl and digital formats. The donation of Williamson's historical guitars will benefit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum.

James Williamson with Maia - Sickkk

Following the release of their first two acclaimed albums, Please Make Welcome (2011) and Holly Grove (2013), the Atlanta-based band The Whiskey Gentry are set to release their third full-length studio album entitled Dead Ringer this spring. On it, the husband and wife duo of Lauren Staley & Jason Morrow and bandmates have created an effort that builds on many of the sounds of their previous albums - incorporating deep country, Americana, honky-tonk, bluegrass and a stiff shot of gritty rock ’n’ roll, yet it also finds the band testing themselves and pushing beyond their own boundaries.

Dead Ringer deals with growing up, and how that’s affected the band’s relationships, and the places they’ve gone and people they’ve met in the process. As singer/songwriter Lauren Staley puts it, “There's also a lot of questioning where you are in your life: are you going to follow your dream, or are you going to do what society thinks you should do?”

Paul Collins' (from The Nerves, The Breakaways) two long lost EPs with his band The Beat from the early '80s make it to Lolipop Records as the first re-issue on all formats in over 30 years, from the "king of power pop" himself. "To Beat Or Not To Beat" was recorded in New York in 1983 at The Ranch with John Mathias (The Romantics) and Paul Collins/Steven Huff producing. It was released in the U.S. by Jem/Passport Records and then it was later released in Europe on Closer Records France and Dro Records Spain. The single "All Over The World" was featured regularly on KROQ in Los Angeles and got a lot of airplay in France and in Spain. Steve and Paul toured in Europe off that record for several years until they wound up in London where they recorded their follow-up EP "Long Time Gone," just before returning to the States. "Long Time Gone" was released in 1985 on Closer France and Dro Spain, and both records were released as a two-fer on Wounded Bird Records in 2004. 

Paul Collins Beat's "Long Time Gone / To Beat Or Not To Beat" will be released on vinyl, CD, cassette and digital formats April 28th via Lolipop Records.

As featured in the soundtrack for Quentin Tarantino's new film "Django Unchained" out Christmas Day 2012! From Brother Dege's full-length debut album "Folk Songs Of The American Longhair."

BROTHER DEGE - Too Old To Die Young

Director Quentin Tarantino was recently interviewed on SiriusXM Radio’s show Little Steven’s Underground Garage where he discussed all of the music track-by-track from his new film "Django Unchained." Here’s what he had to say about Brother Dege’s song “Too Old To Die Young” and his album "Folk Songs of the American Longhair."

Quentin Tarantino on Brother Dege / Folk Songs of the American Longhair album

From Vandaveer's fourth studio album "Oh, Willie, Please..." - a collection of 11 modern reinterpretations of age-old traditional folk songs & murder ballads. Out April 30, 2013 through Quack Media.  

VANDAVEER - Pretty Polly

From Great Peacock's self-titled debut EP (out March 5, 2013 through This Is American Music)



GREAT PEACOCK - Take Me To The Mountain

From The Delta Routine's third full-length studio album "Cigarettes & Caffeine Nightmares." 

The Delta Routine serve up eleven tracks with full-realized hooks and maximum swagger, that are as gritty as they are sexy. I suggest that The Black Keys should watch their backs if these guys ever get into the music licensing game, because these fuzzy, guitar-centric ditties are poised and ready for primetime. – GHETTOBLASTER MAGAZINE

“Milwaukee’s Delta Routine can rock the blues and deliver grade-A hooks just as well as any of its contemporaries. It’s no wonder they’ve been receiving plenty of accolades in their hometown” – MAGNET MAGAZINE

“The Delta Routine’s new full-length, Cigarettes and Caffeine Nightmares, is exemplary rock ’n’ roll with overtones of Mott the Hoople and The Rolling Stones circa “Downtown Suzie.” This is a band in control, and all the more rocking for it.” – Edd Hurt / NASHVILLE SCENE

“On its third full-length album, Cigarettes & Caffeine Nightmares, Milwaukee’s The Delta Routine once again assume the tired-and-true rock stance by mining the classic, guitar-driven treasures of the past. Singer-songwriter Nick Amadeus injects a bluesy swagger into the proceedings, while his band does its best to summon up the hard-living, pre-gentrified ghosts of a mid-’70s CBGB. The good news is that they pull it off—the album is a big step up from 2011’s More About You.” – Matt Wild / THE ONION’S A.V. CLUB

“The Delta Routine ups the ante on their new full-length Cigarettes & Caffeine Nightmares, an album that finds the band hitting their stride like never before.” – Joshua Miller / SHEPHERD EXPRESS

"I won't waste your time now," Delta Routine frontman Nick Amadeus sings with his Liam Gallagher-esque vocals on the opening track. He's true to his word. At 32 minutes, the album is mercifully low on fat but thrills all the same with warped organ and guitar reverb snarls on "Switchblade." Likewise, "Around Your Neck" does its bluesy, White Stripes-like, swagger-soaked thing in less than two minutes' time.”  - Piet Levy / JOURNAL SENTINEL

“ The Delta Routine’s latest album, ‘Cigarettes and Caffeine Nightmares’, offers up songs that are filled with infectious hooks and strong melodies.”  - CW’S PLACE

“Harsh, cathartic boogie marinated in loose, blues-rock grooves and swamp-water bop.”  - John Noyd / MAXIMUM INK

“The Delta Routine’s new single "Switchblade,” from their new album Cigarettes and Caffeine Nightmares sounds like early Oasis, but with a definite Midwest vibe.” - 88NINE RADIO MILWAUKEE

“Down-and-dirty barroom blues/rock.” - WHEN YOU MOTOR AWAY

“If you love a mixture of 60s rock ‘n’ roll, angsty punk and modern day indie, then The Delta Routine’s Cigarettes & Caffeine Nightmares is definitely an album you’ll love.” – SHOW ME SOMETHING DIFFERENT: UK

“Think late ‘60s, ‘70s rock ‘n’ roll (Bolan and Stones)… Cigarettes & Caffeine Nightmares is worth adding to your collection” – MUSIC EYES: UK

“The Delta Routine continue to maintain their fun, distinctive sound while supplying us with fresh new hits to dance to on their third full-length record, Cigarettes and Caffeine. – LOCAL PLAYLIST

“A great band. I love then a lot.”  - FROM THE BURRO

“The Delta Routine’s third album, “Cigarettes and Caffeine Nightmares,” is a collection of hook heavy, hard charging anthems. I’m betting you’ll dig it.” - BERKELEY PLACE BLOG

“Nods appreciatively at the likes of The Rolling Stones, Oasis and The Strokes whilst ensuring they don't just sound like copycats.” – PLUG IN MUSIC

“Clocking in at 35 minutes, The Delta Routine’s “Cigarettes and Caffeine Nightmares” is a kick in the pants of blues rock, garage rock, power pop, and America. Brash and irresistibly fun. You don't want to sleep on this album. The Delta Routine is here to stay. Hopefully it's only a matter of time before they get the appreciation and following they so richly deserve.” - ADOBE & TEARDROPS

“Milwaukee’s The Delta Routine’s Cigarettes & Caffeine Nightmares teaches us that you don’t need to go down south to find beer-soaked, bendy guitars and a raspy twang like Nick Amadeus’, with some organ thrown in for good measure. We all need some mischief in our lives sometimes, and Cigarettes & Caffeine Nightmares is the perfect soundtrack for those occasions.”  - PLAYGROUND MISNOMER
