Hillbilly rock and roll with a twang. Loose, lean, beer-soaked and real. Melodies that are the product of full counts, hang-ups, spin-outs and fumbles, all played with the feel of a worn out Chuck Taylor.

On the heels of their successful debut âBeaverâ and their recent live DvD âGleasons Drift and Friendsâ, 2007 finds Gleasons Drift with the release of their second full length,âNickel Rocketâ. Nickel Rocket continues with the sound that has defined Gleasons Drift since their inception in 2002: loose, lean, spontaneous and genuine. Recorded at Saturation Acres in Danville, Pa by Bret Alexander and Paul Smith (badlees, Breaking Benjamin) âNickel Rocketâ captures the sound that the band has honed live on the road for the past 5 years; tight changes, smart melodies, lyrics that tell the story of the human condition and a vintage sound that equally references Chuck Berry, Hank Williams, the Replacements, and the Meat Puppets while still extending the tradition of real American Rock and Roll. An original and welcome release from a group of post-punk x-men more intent on integrity and song craft than commercial flair.
