Beschreibung
If you're sick of all the whiny emo shit that gets lumped in with punk these days, then the U. S. ROUGHNECKS are your remedy. Serving up punk the way it was meant to be played -- rabidly, rapidly and proficiently -- this forceful, guttural five-piece from Sacramento, California is one of the last authentic American hardcore units left in existence.
Founded as the Knuckleheads back in '97 by chief throat Hennessey, the band assumed their second and current moniker when Jay joined the band that same year. After toiling it out in the mostly healthy Sacramento punk scene over the last half-decade, the group endured a couple of member changes before the Twenty Bucks line-up was solidified. Bolstered by the spine rattling potency of Jay's four-string, the power of kitman Gabe Van Dyke and the blistering tones of guitarists Mike G. and Kemal, the U.S. ROUGHNECKS' sonics are an ideal match for Mike's raging vocals.
The U.S. ROUGHNECKS play pretension-free, head-cracking, ass kicking, heartfelt punk rock. Now take your medicine and toughen up.
