Are the Whiskey Daredevils the best country punkabilly band in the world? Probably, but that’s maybe because they might be the only ones on the planet that really do what they do. Think we’re crazy? OK…Then tell us, what band on the planet combines the energy of punk rock, the raw honesty and twang of American country music, and the attitude of classic 60’s garage rock? Nobody we can think of… The problem with “marketing” a band like the Whiskey Daredevils is they don’t fit into an existing genre. Instead they have taken over their own exclusive niche in the musical landscape. They’re not rockabilly because they don’t play old instruments and sing about time capsule concepts like soda shops and sock hops. No flaming skull tattoos here…They sure aren’t psychobilly because there’s no cheap Halloween makeup or ill advised songs about zombies. Well, what the hell are they doing? Maybe they’re just writing honest songs about what goes on in their corner of the world (Cleveland, Ohio), and playing them in a way that comes naturally…

Veronica Grim is not just a name, it’s five-alarm-rock-and-roll-fire. Featuring Veronica Grim (vocal, acoustic guitar), John Campbell (bass), Nathan Hickey (percussion), Daniel Espinoza (lead guitar) and Dick Gross (guitar) the energy of their live performances is Midwestern Legend. Fusing classic rock n roll, shoegaze, punk, psychobilly and Americana, Veronica Grim has a sound all their own. Having lived and performed in New Orleans and Los Angeles, this group of firebrands has settled in Cincinnati, OH as their base of operations. For fans of Blondie, Social Distortion and Heart, this group will make you dance, pump your fist and beg for more. Check out their latest EP “Summer Goth” now streaming on all platforms!
