I discovered a new band this week while listening to my favorite radio show, Dead Air. That band is called The Drive By Truckers. They mix a southern rock sound with very intelligent and gritty lyrics. Go check out some of there music over at the Live Music Archive
It amazes me at the virtuosity of some of today's bands. They are masters of their realms, yet you never hear them on commercial radio. I guess virtuosity and commercial viability don't mix very well. That's why there is so much garbage filling our airwaves today. It's a shame when the only radio station you can stand to listen to plays songs that are 30 to 40 years old. And it's an independant station. Thank god for 88.7 wncw and 95.7 wxrc. Without them, I would be a brainwashed mindless lemming.
