A gang of unapologetic rockers, American Drag is a kicking live band from San Francisco's North Bay with the songs to match. American Drag combines the classic rock attitude of the Black Crowes, the song craft of Tom Petty and the experimental edge of the Mars Volta to take audiences anywhere-from anthem rock to full on prog-rock jams.
The band's self-titled debut chronicles a peculiar bit of Americana- the "American Dream" turned "American Drag" and the human spirit's struggle for redemption.
It's music with substance:
"Background in prog, power pop, and grunge translates to big melodic riffs that turn on a dime, and when they bring it out to the edge of the cliff, it's clear: These guys can fucking play!"
Richard B. Simon / Relix Magazine
"And today, Marin's great musical tradition continues with a dynamic local band called American Drag... I suggest you catch their live show now, because they're about to rocket through the stratosphere"
Rodger Cambria/ Spin (writing for The News Marin)
"These boys rock steady, in a way that's been forgotten by most of today's so-called alt-rock bands"
R.V. Scheide/ North Bay Bohemian

American Drag is saving Rock and Roll's ass! All the old band's try to put out new albums, and they're never really any good, and if they are any good, they still aren't any better than the band's best album back in the 70s. American Drag, however, has still got that creativity that seems to go with age, and even better, no gimmick. They just play really good, intelligent, well constructed music. Both of their albums are excellent.

PAPER AND SCISSORS-WATCH OUT! ROCK IS NOT DEAD. My last CD Baby purchase was Brushfire Fairytales when this was the only place you could get it and this record deserves all the success and more that Jack J. had with that one.The band evokes memories of sounds from early Allman Brothers Band,Pearl Jam,The Jayhawks and others while remaining fresh and original in their approach. The only problem I have with this record is that I can't take it out of my player and get my beloved Hold Steady,Bon Iver and other faves back in. Go at once. Get this record. You will smile!

I love this album! I've loaded my MP3 player so I can take this amazing music with me on my long runs. The combination of the song writing and music is perfectly balanced. These boys have demonstrated how to make Beautiful Music and still Rock.
