The band represents a crossbreed of America's dark side. Formed in a Kentucky truck stop, each band member fatefully met when down on their luck. They went on to make music not because of passion for it or money, but no one really had anything else to do but drive trucks and sing songs. The songs were written while conversing on channel 17 on their CBs and legend was born. While each members sordid past shall be a mystery no more, some details shall still remain unknown to evade possible prosecution. All four band members have a history which may seem familiar to any fan of daytime talk shows. Chatty, the band's drummer, was a fairly well known child evangelist of the Baptist faith. Traveling the country preaching the gospel, he was given a funny cigarette known to have certain so called, properties. After that fateful day, he gave up the his vows to the good book and was not to speak again. Porkchop, the band's bass player, was born a trucker on the open road. He met the rest of the boys when they rescued him from his rig one winter during a blizzard. They were too late to save Porkchop's cargo of hogs on their way to the slaughterhouse, however. He ate them when trying to survive the cold winds for seven days. His fondness for, "the other white meat," has grown out of control since the incident. Eyeball, the band's rhythm guitar player, was a child of the Vegas casinos. A high school dropout he still had a way with numbers and soon worked his way into the bookie business with the high rollers of the Vegas nightlife. But his teenage entrepreneurism came to a tragic halt when the gambling fever got hold. Seriously in debt, there was no choice but to go on the lam and assume the life of a common man. And there's no more common of a man than a trucker. And finally, The Wooper, the band's lead guitar player. He was a child of the judicial system. An unwanted child born to a woman who was known to make many conjugal visits to state penitentiaries. His mother took a liking to the famed Tex Watson of Manson family fame. Living near the prison he grew up accustomed to prison ways which could account for his hardened attitude. But after being a ward of the state and many reform schools in his teen years, he found a life on the road to be the only way out of the system. Together the boys made a reputation of Drinkin', Fightin', Fuckin' and Truckin' unmatched by any cheap imitation Check out the artist's website: http://www.crosstops.com/ Track List: 1.
