The Spikedrivers - The Spikedrivers

While groups from around the country have put their own regional touch on Americana music, The Spikedrivers offer a 'Rust Belt' edge, combining industrial town rock 'n' roll with country music.

The Spikedrivers album opens with The Ballad of John Dillinger, a song written about the famous outlaw who until now has gone without an anthem. While this song usually closes the evening at live shows, as the first track, it exposes the listener to The Spikedrivers hard hitting musical side. Compromised, the second selection, displays both the band's as well as Grammy award winning producer/engineer Jeff Ciampa's artistic prowess.

From the soft gritty vocals to the ambient bowed bass solo and haunting refrain, Compromised captures the talent and ability necessary for the success of such an intricate piece. The rest of the album is a well balanced blend of blues, swing, and thematic songwriting that encourages the listener to play The Spikedrivers again and again.
