You may or not may not know the band
Glossary. They're a Nashville staple in the rock scene that was adopted into the Americana world via the likes of The Drive-By Truckers and Lucero. They've put out albums from 2007 to 2011, toured afterwards as relentless as their bodies could handle and continue to pop up now and again to remind folks what a proper rock song steeped in blue-collar upbringings should sound like. Their 20th anniversary is right around the corner and they're playing a show in Nashville at
Mercy Lounge on Oct 7th to celebrate the occasion.
I sat down with two members of the band - Bingham Barnes and Joey Kneiser - to discuss the history of the band, how they approached each of their ever-evolving records and the conscious effort they undertook to write songs that put optimistic over cynicism, as a guiding moral light for kids that might discover them later.
It's an hour long interview that covers a lot of ground that might not seem that enthralling if you don't know the band but it's a great opportunity to get to know them and dive into their work.
I'll be releasing a follow-up episode on Wednesday that showcases their actual music. So, keep an eye out and, if you're around, go
see them play.
