DRIVE BY TRUCKERS
Drive-By Truckers are a Southern Rock band based in Athens, Georgia. Their music is unique due to its “three axe attack,” or three guitars as well as bass and drums. Their lyrics often revolve around drifters and outlaws trying to survive in economically-depressed small towns. They currently record for New West Records.
Drive-By Truckers was co-founded by Patterson Hood (son of legendary bassist David Hood of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section) and longtime friend and musical "partner in crime", Mike Cooley in 1996.
Drive-By Truckers had an entertaining and informative website long before most bands had begun taking advantage of the internet as a promotional tool, and together with constant touring, they quickly developed a large and dedicated fan base both on and off-line.
Seminal Drive By Truckers album Southern Rock Opera garnered praise from fans and critics alike. In order to meet new demand brought on by, among other things, a four-star review in Rolling Stone, Southern Rock Opera was re-issued by Mercury/Lost Highway Records in July of 2002.
On January 22, 2008, the Drive-By Truckers' 8th album, Brighter Than Creation's Dark (named after a line in a Cooley song entitled "Checkout Time In Vegas") was released.

THE GUTTER TWINS
+ CARINA ROUND
The Gutter Twins is a musical collaboration between rock musicians Greg Dulli(Afgham Whigs) and Mark Lanegan(Screaming Trees/QOTSA/Twilight Singers).
Dulli and Lanegan have regularly contributed to each other's projects since 2000; of the duo's origins, Dulli said "I think Mark told a journalist we were doing it, and then the journalist called me, and I didn't know we were doing it." On Christmas Day 2003, Dulli and Lanegan began work on the collaboration, titled Saturnalia.
In July 2007, the music website Pitchfork Media announced that the duo, "two of the alt-rock era's greatest frontmen," had signed to Seattle label Sub Pop. Soon thereafter, Sub Pop reported a 4 March, 2008 release date for Saturnalia. Dulli and Lanegan plan to tour in the U.S and abroad to promote the album.

+ TAINT
+ DEAD IN THE WOODS
Clutch are a United States based band from Maryland.. They have been playing together since the early 1990s, and released their first EP, Pitchfork, in October 1991.

The lyrics of Clutch songs have progressed from early releases that were marked with an angry, serious tone to latter releases that are characterized by intelligence, wordplay, and subtle humour. The songs make frequent references to history, mythology, popular culture, and religion. Clutch have built up a devoted cult following. The following has been cultivated by an ambitious touring schedule; the band often performs more than 100 shows per year.
