Brothers Grim (7)

'This Raleigh quintet's sweaty, whiskey-soaked sound traces it's roots back to Neil Young's spiky, distortion-drenched amble and the Drive-by Truckers' blend of Southern verve with country-punk swagger. It's rugged drinking music with a knack for beer-lifting anthems like 'Oh My God,' off their 2005 six-song EP, Bury Me in the Swamp. The twin-guitar attack is meaty, and frontman Adam Lane's aching Southern twang is well suited for such crunchy rockers.' -Chris Parker, The Independent Weekly, July 4th, 2007
