Pike 27 won Best Roots Rock Band at this year's Cincinnati Area Music Awards! Read more...

Pike 27 was #4 on Miles of Music's top seller's list the first week Falling Down Hard was available on the site, ahead of Americana faves like Neko Case and Ryan Adams.

"You take Falling Down Hard straight - no ice and no fancy pink umbrellas please. The sound is sweaty, boozy guitars, crackling percussion and emotional storytelling at its finest. The essence of the recording is less polished pop and more raw, live performance."
-- Sean L. Rhiney, Cincymusic.com

"A roots-rock keeper...Dave Purcell, the brains, voice, and rhythm guitar behind Pike 27, has delivered state-of-the-union Americana with his band's debut CD. It's smart, rocking and concise...one of the year's most promising debuts by a Tristate act." (3 stars out of 4)
-- Larry Nager, Cincinnati Enquirer

"Pike 27 rumble out of Cincinnati, Ohio with a hard-hitting roots-rock sound that recalls the glory days of the Scorchers and the V-Roys..." -- Miles of Music

"Falling Down Hard blasts out of the gate with Wrecking Yard. This tune, with its driving rhythm and Purcell's cerebral lyrics, could be slotted into Scott Miller's great Thus Always to Tyrants without upsetting its balance." -- Al Kunz, Rockzillaworld

	This song was inspired, in part, by a book my wife was reading, an old Appalachian man who lived in the alley behind us, and a scene from The Fisher King. Don't ask...
