Moreland & Arbuckle

Guitarist Aaron Moreland describes their music as gritty blues and roots rock from the heartland. Moreland, harmonicist/vocalist Dustin Arbuckle and drummer Kendall Newby bring fierce electric fury and unrelenting rock energy to their original songs, inspired by raw Delta and Mississippi Hill Country blues. Their songs are expertly executed with musical muscle and fifth-gear urgency. When they perform more traditional blues, they play with the same decisive command. With each of their six previous releases, the band has grown musically and lyrically, creating a signature sound while earning a large and loyal worldwide fan base. Their legendary raw and raucous live shows are played with wild abandon. The New York Post says Moreland & Arbuckle have a raw juke joint exuberance with a dirt-under-the fingernails garage band attack.

Moreland & Arbuckles evolution continues with their Alligator Records debut PROMISED LAND OR BUST, produced by Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Botch, The Sword). From the howling cosmic opener Take Me With You (When You Go) to the stomping Mean And Evil to the plaintive Mount Comfort, Promised Land Or Bust is a far-reaching musical showcase. The instantly-memorable, slice-of-life songs paint scenes of double-crossed lovers, women meaner than the devil, and isolated loners beaten down by careless love. According to Moreland, The new album is consciously traditional but still has the signature drive and power that we have crafted over the past thirteen years.

Arbuckle calls Promised Land Or Bust our best yet, and says, we continue to evolve musically outside of the box we started in, but the bedrockthe blues is always there. Moreland adds, We consciously went back to where we started and it took us to a brand new place. That new place is clearly part of Moreland & Arbuckles never ending musical journey. And for them and their ever-growing fan base, theres no turning back now.
