Synopsis

Album Description

With this offering, they stretch their one of a kind bored-out, jacked-up, four-barrel powerhouse sound, borrowing bluegrass traditions of the backwoods and mixing metal head folklore of the flatlands, strip malls, and dirt tracks to create a rollicking, relevant dust-up. It's their most listener-friendly record to date, pleasing both the headbangers and the extended jam-lovers.

CD Reviews

Stringcore blur will mesmerise even the purists

Brett Lemke | www.maximumink.com | 12/11/2004

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Split Lip Rayfield's class-10 tornado-spin on bluegrass fusion opened the door to a younger generation of finger-pickers who preferred heavier music, and pioneered the way for an underground bluegrass revolution spiraling from the center of Wichita, KS. Some say it's "Slamgrass," others have dubbed it debauchery; overall, the bands light-speed arrangements and tales of broken love and vehicles have set a standard that has even The Reverend Horton Heat impressed. Galvanizing listeners with the boot-stomping plunk of Jeff Eaton's signature bass, the junkyard instrument started out with spare parts from a weed-whacker and an old car's fuel cell. The Lip's new 2004 studio record "Should Have Seen It Coming" was released on September 28, 2004 and features the simultaneous blast-furnace fury of guitarist Kirk Rundstrom and mandolinist Wayne Gottstein. Their high-decibel hillbilly harmonies are in prime form, blurring onstage in a fit of stringcore madness. It was recorded at Mike West's studio in New Orleans, and has a more down-home and personal feel than "Never Make It Home." All content copyright www.maximumink.com"

This band is amazing!

"Another great effort from these guys. Not as smooth and polished as "Never Make It Home" , this album is a bit more like their first two.

I am new to the SLR universe but their four CDs have become my most listened to.

If you think you might like CountryBlueGrassRock'n'Roll give these boys a chance

We lost Kirk Rundstrom way too soon.

RIP man."
