CD Description
Could be alt.country, could be country rock, certainly is damn fine music. Centered around the pedal steel, mandolin, guitars and keyboards, listening to TFOF is like listening to GP, the Burritos or early Eagles. Tunes include 'Endless Highway', a slice of early 70 s country rock so authentic you d swear you d heard it performed by the Byrds on Sweetheart Of The Rodeo; 'The Night Ends' is a jangly guitar-driven account of another hazy night in the pool-hall while 'South Bank Girl', features duelling Fender Rhodes and distorted steel guitar.
About the Artist
Two Fingers Of Firewater are a young five-piece alt-country/Americana band from South East UK, playing original music centred around the sound of the pedal steel/mandolin, acoustic guitar and keyboards/accordion. The winter of 2007 was spent in the appropriately named Chiller unit of a local strawberry farm rehearsing and recording eleven original numbers which make up the band s debut album, as well as the traditional bluegrass song 'Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down' included by Uncle Tupelo in their classic release 16-20 March, 1992. Two Fingers of Firewater was formed in 2005 by founding band members Jon Clake (acoustic/electric guitars and vocals), Tom Harding (bass) and Alex Chappelow (pedal steel/guitar/mandolin). The original line-up changed significantly in mid-2007 with the addition of Stephen Price (keyboards) and James Sacha (drums).
