ith 6 years and three albums of mud, song and life on the collective boot The Rockford Mules are veterans of the Minneapolis scene and an answer to rock n roll that last existed decades ago. They have a dirty, driving, and unrelenting sound that resembles a holy bulldozer with a demon behind the wheel. They have a rhythm section with a foundation

more rooted and solid than the oldest oak in the grove and guitars that aren't afraid to sonically remodel the inside of whatever club they happen to be playing. If Skynyrd, Waylon and Tool all lived in Hazard County, got drunk on moonshine, and kicked Boss Hogg's ass you are somewhere close to the attitude and life breathed into The Rockford Mules. Along with a solid local fan base the Mules have been a hit across the pond as well gamrnering several rave reviews and charting in the top ten on many radio stations. They have shared the stage with Shooter Jennings, Lucero, Fu Mancho along with other national acts. With music licensed on several MTV programs and also showcased on CBS's "Criminal Minds". They are poised and ready to give a bland music scene a well deserved kick in the teeth. But make no mistake, these boys are unapoligetic and have no illusions about fitting in with a scene where hipsters and fashion dominate over actually having musical substance. They are loud, tight and they don't care who you came to see because they know when you leave you'll be talking about them. Don't confuse the bravado for arrogance but rather a deep confidence and belief that rock is meant to be played with passion, volume, sweat, and whiskey. This is the truth on 10...life lived through Les Pauls. If you want something safe keep looking because The Mules ain't safe, and they sure as hell don't care if you're ready for the truth. You heard of tough love? This is mean love gettin' meaner.

"Rough and rugged, hard rocking, grungy sound is commercial – and good – enough to propel them somewhere decent were some major label A&R hotshot on the case."
Mischa Pearlmen, KERRANG! Magazine (UK)

"The Rockford Mules' pigpen-filthy, whiskey-splattered blues-rock is a thing of absolute beauty live, where it sounds even more dangerous and unpredictable."
City Pages

"Fuzzed-out, heavy rock witha metal twinge. The cadence of Morphine and the darkness of 16 Horsepower mashed up with some electrified Delta blues. Induces cravings for amphetamine-loaded late-night drives to the middle of nowhere."
Razorcake, Jessica Thiringer

"The Rockford Mules sound is a dichomtomy; like nothing you've ever heard before, but at the same time instantly recognizable, I...was trying to come up with the perfect adjective for them. I have to make up a work : "dirtysouthernboogiehonkytonrocknrollmetal." But for short, I would just call them "really fuckin' good."
Bob Longmore, Howastheshow.com
