They could be the soundtrack to a shotgun wedding, tractor pull, or dog fight. It's bluegrass on overdrive, it's an after hours rockabilly prom, but most of all it's a show not to be missed.

Three Day Threshold could be the soundtrack to a shotgun wedding, tractor pull, or dog fight. It's bluegrass on overdrive, it's an after hours rockabilly prom but most of all it's a show not to be missed. They've garnered more accolades than a dog's got fleas; a handful of Boston Music Awards and WFNX/Phoenix Awards, as well as a few nods for "Artist of the Year" from Jam Music Magazine and "Best Live Band" from The Noise.
Three Day Threshold has had write ups all from over the globe, from Italy to England, from Maine to Georgia. Their music has been showcased in movies and television shows such as FOX’s “Simple Life” series, starring Paris Hilton, and MTV’s “Real World” and “Road Rules”. The band has shared stages with national acts like The Drive By Truckers, The Hackensaw Boys, Social Distortion, Southern Culture on the Skids, G.E. Smith, BR5-49 and even, yes, Quiet Riot.
The Boston Herald said:
“Boston’s Three Day Threshold has a felicitously original sound. Combining the best of The Rolling Stones, The Pogues, Little Feat and Johnny Cash, Three Day Threshold gets juiced up. 3DTs songs are energetic, loud and crafted with terrific hooks.”
There are over 15,000 cds featuring Three Day Threshold in circulation however, their latest release “Against the Grain” on Hi N Dry Records is undoubtedly their finest work to date, mixing elements of Bluegrass, Country, Celtic and Punk music into one delicious, and surprisingly potent, cocktail. Crack open a cold one and enjoy.

Review of Against the Grain from the Netherlands

THREE DAY TRESHOLD "Against The Grain"
(Hi-N-Dry)
4 out of 5 stars
Wie erin slaagt om deze CD volledig te beluisteren zonder wild hipshakend en met een gelukzalige grijns zo breed als z'n gezicht achter te blijven, moet hoogdringend op doktersbezoek… Wat deze zes knapen uit Boston doen is immers zo aanstekelijk, dat elke vorm van weerstand er meteen door in de kiem gesmoord wordt. Met zestien rete-aanstekelijke rootsrockliedjes verkopen ze je een totaal onverwachte opdoffer van jewelste. Meezingen zal je, willen of niet… Laat maar wat van die ijskoude goudgele knapen aanrukken, schuif tafels en stoelen aan de kant en laat je vooral gaan op de songs van Kier Byrnes en kompanen! Snel naar hier halen, dit collectiefje! Wie op plaat al zo vitaal uit de hoek kan komen, móet live gewoon behoorlijk onweerstaanbaar zijn!
Nog niet overtuigd? Bezoek dan als de gesmeerde bliksem de webstek van de groep of hun CD Baby-pagina en beluister er om te beginnen de onstuimige, zo ongeveer als de Pogues op doortocht doorheen Amerika klinkende tweeling "Whiskey, You're The Devil" en "Kelly, I'm Coming Over", het heerlijk stuiterend twangende "Narrow It Down" en het ook al volstrekt onweerstaanbare "Ghost Of Jimmy Ryan". Als je daarna nog niet in de ban zou zijn van dit sextet, tja, dan is er nog altijd die dokter, he…

Holy crap this rocks!
author: Shite N Onions Irish/Alt Country Music
“Against The Grain” is TDT’s 3rd full length release and being well familiar with all 3 I can easily say ATG is clearly their best and most ‘mature’ release to date and when I say ‘mature’ I don’t mean it in a bad way (though I usually do). Long time fans needn’t despair with this new found maturity either ‘cos ATG is still loaded with high speedy trashy country meets Irish but it’s really went things slow down that the music picks up – think if Johnny Cash had live long enough to make America VI – yeah that good.

Thank God for Three day Threshold!
author: Tim from The Noise
So, I was wondering what I wanted to review this month, and I started praying to the Lord, and I said, "God, please send me something that just plain kicks ass, nothing fucking twee or pretentious, something with a healthy dose of sturm und twang, perhaps reminiscent of Jason and the Scorchers when they were more country than rock, or a lighter-hearted version of the Gun Club's first album, but that still recognizes the Scots-Irish roots of country/ bluegrass, and I'd like the playing to be fucking top-notch, but not so perfect that it sounds sterile, something that still feels like a shit-kickin' porch hootenanny. I want the slow songs to make me cry and the fast ones to make me wish I owned cowboy boots to walk across a rough-floored saloon to buy the band a drink, I'd like it to have plenty of songs and I'd really like one of those songs to be called "Chicken Shack," and if you could throw in a recipe for BBQ sandwiches, well, Lord, that'd just be real nice of you." And, because I live a good life, God said okay.
