Clint Clymer and the Outlaw Gypsies Honest, heartfelt, music from the heartland is in rare supply these days. But Clint Clymer serves it up by the acre on It’s All About the Ride, his exceptional new release on Big Bender. Across a sparse, acoustic musicscape, Clymer sings haunting, unflinching, self-penned songs about wasted love, loss and the cost of the lush life. Best of all, he sounds like a man who knows his subject matter firsthand, whether it’s battling the bottle, busted dreams or bucking broncos. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Marty Jones Marty Jones & the Pork Boilin' Poor Boys are Colorado's kings of "barn rock" and alternative country. The washtub bass-powered quartet fuses rock, vintage country and hillbilly bop into a souped-up (and beer-soaked) Americana sound that's completely unique. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 Old
Bull | Old Bull is like a deep drink of Kentucky Bourbon followed by a long hit of homegrown. Up in the hollers and hills surrounding Los Angeles lies a refuge called Topanga, where you forget you are within spitting distance of the city. Some of the old spirit resides here yet, carefully tended by the old timers who have not yet succumbed to time. A new and undeniable creative force is marinatin' in this place, and folks around here call it Old Bull. The Bull has roots in Punk, Alternative, Rock, Folk Bluegrass and blues....It's "Southern California Slamgrass". |

 Porter
Hall Tennessee | Where would country music be without songs about booze, tattoos, gasoline, God, the devil, one-way streets, broken cars, broken hearts, and broken bones? Somewhere between the grit of X and the dusty road poetry of Merle Haggard stands Porter Hall Tennessee, all whiskey swagger and eyes shooting daggers... |

 Red
Eye Junction |
Red Eye Junction, brainchild of Dr. Cain and C.C. Hoffman conjures the spirit of the hard hitting Country and Western/ honky tonk music from the days gone bye. Buck Dylan and Jackpot Jonny Clarke round out the band and seal the deal. Red Eye Junction understands the true essence of what classic country and western/ honky tonk music embodies yet throwing a few extra punches and a few bonus roundhouse kicks to update the sound. No generic bullshit here, just good ole' country music born and bred in the heart of the Central Coast California. |

 Shitkickers
From the humble beginnings of a three-piece, three-song side
show act, The ShitKickers have blossomed into a six(and sometimes
seven)piece onslaught of banjo and whiskey flurries. Difficult to
define, they've been rumored to consider themselves swampscat, cowpunk,
skatestomp, drunken bluegrass fishing music. They've played with the
likes of Mojo Nixon, Th' Legendary Shack Shakers, Mr. T Experience,
The Forgotten, The Faction, The Real MacKenzies, X, and Dr. Know.
They just finished recording their third album 'Noon's Moonlight'
at "The Legendary Birthplace of Rock and Roll" Sun Studio
in Memphis, Tennessee. |

 | The Earps The Earps are a rock n roll band with honky tonk influences. They have been called "cowpunk" and "butt rockabilly". One local Phoenix country-blues artist described them as "Hank III... KISS... David Allan Coe... New York Dolls... Jason and the Scorchers..." The Earps are known for entertaining live shows that fall somewhere between arena rock and episodes of Hee Haw. |

 The
Utah County Swillers When
most people think "Utah" they quickly think of a few things.
Mormons, polygamists and super uptight conservative assholes. While
that may be true, there is in fact--fucked up hillbillies up here
in the mountains who know how to have a damn good time! Back in 2002,
a few drunks bellied up to the bar. After several shots of whiskey
and countless beers, the idea to get a band together suddenly emerged.
Under the drunken misdirection of Swillin' Willis, members of Endless
Struggle, the Unlucky Boys and Thunderfist set out to create a new
sound that simply doesn't exist in the high mountain valleys of Utah.
It's music by rednecks--for rednecks! Yee Haww! It's trucker punk
for the workin' man and we're pulling out all the stops.

The Way-Goners are in some ways a throwback to the good old days when beer drinking, juke joints, and a raunchy band went together like dance floors and sawdust. Doing it up in the tradition of their honky tonk heroes Waylon, Merle, Hank, and others; playing anywhere that can offer the band free beer and a good vibe. Formed in early 2005, THE WAY-GONERS have found an outlet for their brand of rocking country music across the small river bars of southern Louisiana to the bright lights and big city stages of Nashville and Austin. Adopting a "Wherever and Whenever" approach to gigging has given the group the opportunity to become a tough, hard gigging outfit and hone their unique sound in front of appreciative audiences everywhere. |
