About

After his Atlanta-based Alternative Rock band IBM broke up, front man Ben Friedman recruited bass man Keith Perissi, drummer Francis Ferran, and guitar guy Jim Lavender to form this Roots Rock quartet. Their up-tempo Rockabilly Revival and Western Swing Revival-inspired Americana brought the band a large cult following, and they released two albums following their break up in 1995. Unlike most Retro bands, this quartet did more than recreate a sound: they also managed to write songs with relevant pop sensibility and then filter them through old tones and vintage sounding amplifiers.

- Eric Shea
