Whiskeydick Review From Oxford England - "...A Cross Between Pantera and David Allan Coe

Whiskeydick Review From Oxford England - "...A Cross Between Pantera and David Allan Coe

"We're just a train-robbin', gun-totin', dope-smokin', guitar-pickin', muthafuckin' good time band, taking hillbilly music and spreading it across the land," is how Fort Worth, Texas duo Whiskeydick describe themselves, which is as good as anything Nightshift can conjure to describe their soulful blend of outlaw country and metal, played by two big, bearded, heavily-tattooed blokes armed with acoustic guitars and sat on wooden folding chairs for the duration of their shows. With deep, rich, rootsy vocals and plenty of guitar heroics, the pair - Fritz and Reverend Johnson - sound like a cross between Pantera and David Allan Coe, and if it's not the kind of thing you'd normally expect to see at a Buried In Smoke show, the fact that Whiskeydick have shared a stage with Honky, Weedeater, and Nashville Pussy shows they can hold their own in the heaviest company. Which is good since tonight's local supports are Didcot's Super-heavyweight groove crew Mother Corona and new local stoner-metal outfit Indica Blues, two bands who bring classic rock sounds into the modern age with extreme force." - Nightshift, Oxford England
