We play a version of Southern rock that we call "Southern Gothic Rock 'n' Roll" (all original...well, save about 2 or 3 covers); it's a mixture of Outlaw country, Southern rock, and a dash of garage punk. Our main influences are Townes Van Zandt, Waylon Jennings, Slobberbone, Drive By Truckers, and Lucero (the boys from Memphis, not the Latina singer).
