    Artist description
    The Porch Junkies formed in the late 20th Century on a Long boring Island just East of New York City. Three guys named Erick weave a frenzied yet melodic guitar tapestry that hangs from the curvy but solid rythmic edifice erected by Raw Dog and Stinky. Stories about hills, pills, sunsets and suburban smog are carefully pinned to the walls, completing the "ThrashingAcidCountryBlues" motif that they have meticulously crafted.
