The Whipsaws - Ten Day Bender

The Whipsaws - Evan Phillips on guitar, harmonica and vocals, Aaron Benolkin on guitar, lap steel and vocals, Wade Collins on bass and vocals and James Dommek, Jr. on drums and vocals - play music they like to call 'hillbilly rock' It's full of twang and vocals that, though often sung by lifelong Alaskans, have a southern accent. 'The Drive-By Truckers are a southern band that sing a lot about the dirty south.' Phillips says The Whipsaws sing a lot about what happens, or could happen, in the 'big, cold north.'

The album, Ten Day Bender, is 10 songs that the guys spent three weeks recording this summer. The album includes pieces such as Petersville, a truly Alaska outlaw song about miners and murders, and Shotgun Wedding. With a title like that, you know The Whipsaws are sticking to that same ol' Americana stuff they're known for. ~ Monica Bradbury, Anchorage Press
