Heavy Trash Yep Roc

Remember that guy Jon Spencer who had his own explosion of blues? Well, his blues exploded so many times that he decided to be in a new band. Heavy Trash is that band. Based out of NYC, Heavy Trash has maintained some of that bluesy sound and mixed it with some country and punk stylings while highlighting Spencer’s frenetic energy. I think that’s actually the exact formula for creating a rockabilly band. They just put out their third album in 2009 (Midnight Soul Serenade) and have toured on and off for the last five years or so. Worth checking out if they’re ever in your area. Or in an area near by.
