artist Murder City Sparrows

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars…” -Jack Kerouac Once upon a time, in his own personal hell, Jay Sparrow decided his fate. You learn a lot about yourself while lying on a bathroom floor with the bottle of Jack Daniel’s still in your hand. After a solo record and still feeling empty he needed something more. “More Whiskey?” he thought, “maybe”, but why not start with finding a band. Besides four screwed up minds has got to be better than one…right? So who the hell are these guys and why are they so pissed off?! This record is as frantic as a six day cocaine binge. From stories of killers in Omaha to the lives of Elvis and Priscilla, This “heavy roots rock” band is raw and loud as hell. Produced by Gordie Johnson (Big Sugar, Grady) at Willie Nelson’s legendary studio “Pedernales”(Austin, Texas), the Murder City Sparrows bring a real rock sound with none of that fancy overdub crap. I mean really, who has eight guitar players anyway? They bring their no bullshit attitudes and blunt force like a bottle cross the head to the stage at every show. Want a hit?
