Friday Freebie: The Dirty Truckers - Three Shots EP


According to the description on their latest EP's Bandcamp page, The Dirty Truckers provide "... a sonic wall of '70s FM thunder welded by earnest blue collar rock n' roll." The Boston band's newest release, Three Shots EP, is three songs (naturally) that combine rock in country in a way you haven't quite heard before. It's a unique mix of alt-country and power pop, with all of the edge and punk attitude of alt-country but with huge melodic guitars and some of the catchiest hooks around. It's like bands like The Replacements and Drive-By Truckers decided to smooth out their sound a bit. It's distinctly a country rock EP, but more like Gram Parsons by way of Steve Earle.

You can listen to "Turn Your Head Around" below. Three Shots EP is out now on Rum Bar Records and available for the "name your price" option over at Bandcamp. If you do choose free, be sure to give The Dirty Truckers a follow over on Facebook.
