Review: West Coast-influenced Americana Roots-Pop from Raleigh, North Carolina. With Byrdsy twelve-string Rickenbacker strumming; warm, almost nasal-toned vocals; chiming electric guitar distortion; tightly welded three-part harmonies; and soaring melodies that stick like honey, the Backsliders are sure to become a household word to those bootcut of Levis and twang of taste. Road trip record of the year, anyone?
