Description
Cartright, birthed from the back roads of Texas, is pouring fresh water on the roots of rock n roll. Growing up in the south has allowed this young quartet to create the best of Americana in a rough-and-tumbling folk-rock set that would make South by Southwest crowds salivate, says the Dallas Observer.
With the release of the bands debut EP, A Tall Tale Comes of Age (an assessment of violent entertainment), Cartright is preparing to take on the lonely road promoting the album. The five chapters that make up Tall Tale combine the acoustic talent of Ben Russell and his angst-ridden lyrics, such as you broke my wrists -- but Im still making fists, with the gritty yet intense musical proficiency of the band. Their influences ranging from punk to old gospel, Cartrights dangerous Southern pop takes their listeners on a nostalgic, foot stomping, hell raising, sing-a-long journey.
Ben Russell (a.k.a. Bearcat Cartright) had his beginnings writing and playing solo until he met the Cornetti brothers three. Lou, Nick, and Joe (a.k.a. Buffalo, Cottonmouth, and Hurricane Cartright) come from a musical family that includes country, gospel, and opera singers. These Young Turks actually cut their teeth on gospel music, perfecting their musical skills every Sunday morning. The joining of forces has added a new dimension to Bearcats music, with performances that charm the audience through mesmerizing lyrics and intoxicating folk-not-folk ditties.
The bands earliest gigs were in Denton, TX at the now infamous Yellow House. Here hoards of college students shut down the street with house shows that earned the boys a great deal of recognition and eventually an eviction. Although most of the members are not old enough to be customers at the clubs they frequent, the band is poised to build their following mapping out west coast and mid-Atlantic tours for the remainder of 2006. They soon hope to be as hot as a whorehouse on nickel night.
