The Octanes

"Roots, Rock, and Romance" (self)

Comparisons to the Blasters are not without validity. The in-the-marrow devotion to American musics is manifest, as is the often upbeat, optimistic mien. And into the deal add enough foot-stomp, hand-clap singalong infectiousness to elevate any backwoods barn dance or citified street party to glad-all-over, limber-legged euphoria.

Recommended "Don't Flip Your Lid," "Wrapped Up," "Louisiana Radio," "New Hometown," "Movin' Up, Movin' Out"
