"These boys come in with tattoos and piercings and long hair, and you think that maybe grandpa in the back of the room is going to hate it, but guess what - grandpa loves it and so do I, because .357 may have punk rock style, but their musical heart is very traditional."
- The Reverend Peyton
Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band

"If Hank Williams were alive today, he would probably listen to punk (like his grandson does), flirt with the idea of readily available street-drugs and be a big fan of the hillbilly/punk/Americana of Milwaukee's .357 String Band. An obvious punk influence driven by banjo, fiddle and mandolin creates a sound that they like to call amphetamine-fueled mountain music. The best Thing about these guys is their live show. Hoe-down meets throw-down in an all-out frenzy that matches up against any snake worshipping Christian revival tent show ever staged to spook an audience into a glazed-eye state of euphoria. Slip on yer boots and wash out your wife beater T-shirt" ----Lane Klozier---- (Maximum Ink Magazine)

A crisp bed of Bluegrass garnished with fresh organic vegitables and Funky Flavorful low-end dressing. Southern Fried Rock with a twist of Reggae. Served with a side of You-know-what-I'm-talkin'-'bout. It's toe-tappin' and finger-snappin' good.

Born as a side project of Josh Tovar and Brian Thumper Vos of Freshwater Collins and Mike Cactus Kasprzak of Mississippi Cactus and Ben Crooch of Ben Crooch fame. Whiskey Bound is outlaw music-good country music. Dedicated to drinkin' and general rebel rousin' these boys live the life they sing about by such legends as Waylon, Billy Joe Shaver, Merle, Hank, the other Hank, and the other, other Hank just to name a few. Their live shows are a must-see. You never know what's gonna happen and neither do they... YEEE HAWW!
