Siderunners Details
The Siderunners play country with grit, style, and heart. Veterans of the Chicago punk music scene, these musicians seamlessly cross genres and sound as if they've been playing country their whole lives.To see the Siderunners live is a lesson in grit, determination, and above all stamina. With a healthy respect for tradition, this unconventional lineup remembers what was best about country music, and the kind of music that has endured over the years. Fragile guitar tones give way to blistering leads, propelled by a rhythm section as tight as the noose around thier necks. Lyrics that make you want to drown in your beer or throw it, delivered with a voice that makes either action seem like a perfectly natural response. The mood shifts constantly, from melancholy confessionals to raucous throw-downs.An emotional swing this pronounced would make most groups seem insincere, if not fall apart completely. But this is The Siderunners world. Honest yet wry. Fun-loving yet cold-hearted. The way Country music was and should be.
