Artist description
The Claymores are a three-piece band out of Austin, Texas.
The Songs are melodic but simple. Mostly, they are
about beer and fishing. Intersections abound in the
structures of the songs. From Highways to dirt roads,
many of these songs are of the travlin' kind. Produced
by Peter Stiles of the Meat purveyors, these songs have
a uniquely authentic and honest sound. The band has
two goals-longevity and making good music. Both have
come easy to these fellas.

Artist History
Formed in 1997, these three have explored their
roots and found a unique sound among them. Sean, the punk-rock
drummer, Mike-the metal-head bassist and Gregg-the willie-worshipping singer/songwriter
somehow managed not to kill each other when their
musical styles collided. Gaining fast recognition in the Austin
area, this little group is making noise with thier
self titled debut "The Claymores" |

Press Reviews
"This Texas trio build a fine debut out of twangy
rockers, country laments, and folky ballads.
Singer Greg Yows occasionaly brings to mind
Dave Alvin (and there's nothing wrong with that).
The Meat Purveyors' Pete Stiles produced and
played mandolin while the Gourds' Claude Bernard
chips in some accordion."
