Specializing in a raw hillbilly punk-blues style that roars like a modal, tweaking chainsaw, Left Lane Cruiser is a two-piece band comprised of Frederick “Joe” Evans IV on slide guitar and Brenn Beck on drums. The pair came out of Fort Wayne, IN but their sound has the swampy feel of North Mississippi hill country blues à la Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside, with a good dose of snarling garage punk tossed into the mix. A self-released album, Gettin’ Down on It, was released on the group’s own Hillgrass Bluebilly Records in 2006, and the following year, they signed to Alive Records. Bring Yo’ Ass to the Table appeared from the imprint in 2008, followed by All You Can Eat in 2009 and Junkyard Speed Ball in 2011. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi
