Grayson Capps & The Stumpknockers are the kind of band you need on an improvised stage on the main square of your town, raising hell with their drawling rawk songs. Main man Capps Rott 'N' Roll sounds like a dirtier version of Kris Kristofferson. They can be mellow (Arrowhead, Ike), 50s rockers (Big Ol'Woman), just plain silly (Gran Maw Maw), dark story tellers (The Fear Fruit Bearing Tree) and loud Sock Monkey, Bacon - a soaring instrumental). This is good time music to be played at top volume.
Rott 'N' Roll is released on Hyena Records.
