The Bottle Rockets were unceremoniously birthed in 1992 & when they hit the scene, the world wasn't quite sure what to do with them. With their punk-rock pedigrees & arena-rock energy & their hearts sewn bare on their denim sleeves, the pride of Festus, MO laid waste to clubs across the Midwest & then, soon enough, the nation. Back in a time when the critical language and resulting idioms for mixing underground rock with country was in its infancy, The Bottle Rockets were fearlessly - & quite loudly - playing rootsy weepers alongside howling rave ups. The band's longtime lineup consists of Brian Henneman, Mark Ortmann, John Horton, Keith Voegele. Recorded in St. Louis at Sawhorse Studios, engineered by Mario Viele & produced by Eric “Roscoe” Ambel, the bands’ 13th album Bit Logic has them looking at their unique stylistic blend through a different lens. While one of the group's earmarks is constructing blue-collar anthems, Bit Logic is focused on how change & adaptation affects the bigger picture. The album is the simple meeting the complex, traditional meeting modern, stick-to-your-guns resoluteness meeting adaptation. Until every regular guy gets a fair shake, the songs and sentiments of the Bottle Rockets will never get stale.
The band, their sound, & their message goes beyond a time, place, fad.
