The Lushrollers

Release date: May 20th 2003

The self titled second album from the acclaimed Highland alt-country band.
Started in Nashville Tennessee and finished in Ardgour, Scotland, the record contains ten new songs from the old dogs of the hard road.

The Lush Rollers stole out of the shadows of the Market Bar, Inverness in the autumn of 1998. Their music has been described as contemporary Scottish alternative country with shades of 1977 still lurking in the background. Over the last two years they have played extensively throughout Scotland, with the occasional raid into Ireland and Europe. They were also the only Scottish band to have performed successful showcases at A2A 2001(Amsterdam), SXSW 2002 (Austin, Texas) and AMA 2002 (Nashville, Tennessee)

The band are; Willie MacAskill-voice and guitar, Tabs MacAskill-guitar and voice, Derek Urquhart-drums and voice, Robin Abbot-Bass Guitar and voice.

Having played most of their music well beyond the reach of the national press, the new album with supporting UK tour will be for many the first introduction to the Lushroller sound. Songs of emotional clarity and observant dry wit, forged with four part harmony vocals, drums and guitars.

The debut EP "Out Of The Wood", released in September 2000, introduced their deeply unfashionable music from the heart of the working class. It was however, their second record and debut CD "Who's Driving ", which really pushed them into the coolest depths of the truly unhypeable. Finding favour amongst the new great-unwashed -30ish music lovers left on the far shore of the mainstream- it is to these poor souls that the eponymously titled third record is dedicated.
