Raised on renegade punk but steeped in unadorned honky tonk of the Bakersfield variety, Arbuckle throws down a bold and brazen brand of alt-country, the kind you won’t take home to mama. It's raunchy enough to light a fire in any unsuspecting roadhouse.
A psychotic mix of Bakersfield honky-tonk, classic punk, and beer-soaked rock, Arbuckle is a refreshing punch in the face for everyone bored to death with the snoozing state of alt-country.
Former members of punk pioneers Social Unrest, mod revivalists The Hi Fives, hardcore icons Redemption 87, and roots-rockers Fircracker, Arbuckle released its first ep, the brutally twangy The Killing of Kenny Raye in 2004.
