Named after the distance from the band’s hometown of Cincinnati to Graceland, 500 Miles To Memphis plays a rowdy, insanely catchy, sometime heartbreaking but always inspiring brand of “country punk.” It’s the type of honest music that can prompt a sentimental, liquor-tinged therapy session between old friends or incite a raucous, fist-pumping sing-along amongst perfect strangers at your neighborhood pub.
“Half country twang, half raucous punk, wholly innovative.” – Absolutepunk.net
“Drink, dance, laugh and cry the night away to this little gem. Great stuff.” – Subba-Cultcha
“An entertaining blood-and-broken bottle country punk combo…a rousing listen!” – Americana UK
“500 Miles To Memphis have won my heart with their country-punk amalgam.” – Independent Clauses
