A.M. Interstate

After quickly selling out the first pressing of their debut concept, this Portland, Oregon band headed back into the recording studio with a more focused and mature songwriting approach along with an eagerness to stretch their boundaries musically. Filling the 700 square foot house with as much dated recording equipment and instruments that they could get their hands on, they gathered around the controls, and spent the better part of a year recording songs to an analog reel-to-reel machine; Hammond organs, Wurlitzer pianos, lap steel, dulcimer, drums, and numerous guitars were the chosen instrumentation for the project. The collaboration between Jackson Groves, and brothers Seth Erickson, and Cy Erickson is a cohesive exploration through each members vision of indie-music -- psychedelic, rocking, and dreamy. The band has been compared to a wide spectrum of artists ranging from Urge Overkill and Steppenwolf to most alt-country artists on the scene today as well. Sounds impossible; you have to hear this band for yourself.
