The Armor Class w/ the Roadside Graves, Divebar, and the Pullman Strike

  • Roadsidegraves_large

With a name like the Roadside Graves, you'd think this country-rock seven-piece with New Jersey roots would be a somber crew, gravitating more towards Nebraska's murder ballads than the fired-up anthems of Born to Run. As it happens, their growing songbook encompasses both bittersweet narrative numbers (at times Dylan-esque) that tilt toward folk, and more up-and-at-'em efforts with pounding ivories, locomotive drums and guitar, and accordion to spare. Fans of Josh Ritter or early Wilco should find plenty to love, yet as the Roadside Graves continue to hone their style, they're hashing out their own dusty visions of America — rousing, perambulatory, but with a macabre underside. Even a rambling man is trailed by a dark shadow, after all.
