I imagine the upsurge that country has had in the last decade or so has been because mainstream rock radio has only had the likes of Nickelback and Avenged Sevenfold to throw up, while hip hop reigns supreme, so all the rednecks just end up listening to Toby Keith instead. Rednecks would totally eat this **** up. I could so see this band possibly revitalizing mainstream rock if given the right chance.

Agreed entirely dude, one of my favorite bands. But part of them not being mainstream is the fact that, to my knowledge, they're pretty much completely self supported. I think they've gone back and forth on non independent labels but most of their **** is done on their own. Thats why they don't get as much coverage, and why they regrettably don't tour far from their home base.

Of course, I'm lucky enough that they come to Michigan like three times a year

Everyone loves Clutch here.

That's how you cover ****!

Mike Patton doesn't listen to the radio. He just wanted to make a Pop album. You are a legend.

The name alone intrigued me and it was well worth it. If you like Post Progressive Rock then this is your bag.

The Fall decided to make a goth album maybe?

If I ever formed a band, this is the kind of music we would make. Just an album full of this. Also, for money or whatever we would cover all of Nirvana's songs at parties or whatever.

Dammit! What the hell am I doing?? I should be out trying to find a band.

I'm digging this band pretty hard. Put it this way, got one album on recommendation, and now compelled to get every other album. Cowboy bluegrass rockabilly? Not sure, you be the judge.

after a long listen to some Bratmoble yesterday, thinking about GOB and Spazz and Gehenna.....i am offically on a major flashback to the mid 90s

Zoinks were local favorites who went on to sign with Dr Strange and almost become somewhat popular

Reno pop punk at its absolute best.....still have beers with Zach (singer/guitar) from time to time

These guys are moderately acceptable.
Also, that's cool that you personally know someone from the band.
