America's greatest country punk band is back with their finest full length yet! This is the first with new guitarist Gary Siperko on "Introducing the Whiskey Daredevils". On the new release, the band has re-embraced the country punk roots of The Cowslingers and attempted to make the kind of record they wished Nashville would make. "Introducing the Whiskey Daredevils" is a full length CD that takes all the good stuff from country music and Link Wray, and leaves out all the crap that somehow makes it onto commercial radio. The Whiskey Daredevils are made up of three of the four former Cowslingers. Vocalist Greg Miller still writes all the words and co-writes the music with new guitarist Gary Siperko. Gary, late of upstate New York's all instrumental band The Mofos, has taken to the crazed country pickin' and Link Wray inspired tones of the Daredevils like a fish to water. Meanwhile Ken "Krusty" Miller and Leo P. Love provide the locomotive backbeat that always seems to be in the right place. On "Introducing the Whiskey Daredevils", the band reconvened with Detroit's John Smerek (Paybacks, Detroit Cobras, even that Kid Rock fella) at White Room Studios and recorded songs they had fine tuned on a three week European Tour in the Spring of 2009. The songs focus on the true stories and tall tales the band has encountered while driving the planet in a series of crappy vans. You can listen to songs about wizards, and suburban angst if you want. The Daredevils will tell you the way it is about losing your license in a drunk driving charge, missing a Johnny Cash concert for a keg party, having a buddy slip drugs into your suitcase at a border cross, or just pining for that girl behind the counter of the Taco Bell. This is the real life country music used to sing about combined with the energy and honesty punk rock used to be about. Isn't this the new record you need?
