It may come as a surprise to hear the foot-stomping strains of Appalachian bluegrass channeled through a rock band in Los Angeles - but heartache, loss, and regret have always been the cornerstones of great music, and L.A has its share. With an arsenal of banjos, guitars, mandolin, fiddle, pedal steel, upright bass, and thundering drums, Rose's Pawn Shop is a mishmash of creek mud, rock, rusty nails, country, bluegrass, punk, and your mom's cooking. RPS fearlessly combines traditional country music themes with bluegrass instrumentation, 4-part harmonies, and lyrics that'll break your heart. |
