Pre-Order: Down For Life [CD]

Sam Salmon & the Grand Manan Bandits is a bare-bones country band made up of beloved Canadian alt-rock band Motherhood and "delta doom" guitarist Keith Hallett (Echodelick Records)DOWN FOR LIFE features foot-stompin' tracks like "No One Likes Losing," a self-deprecating look at being competitive yet never managing to get ahead, "Waste Your Time," about the confusion of suddenly losing someone you love, as well as a reflection on familial personality traits, and "If I Needed You Now," showcasing country music at it's finest - three chords and the truth. Or, in this case, two chords. Sam Salmon & the Grand Manan Bandits features Penelope Stevens (bass/vocals), Brydon Crain (vocals/guitar), Keith Hallet (lead guitar, console steel), and Adam Sipkema (drums). DOWN FOR LIFE also marks a trifecta of releases this year from Motherhood Music Inc., following the band's "wildly entertaining!" (Bandcamp) fifth album Thunder Perfect Mind and side-project Penny & the Pits' "delicate and demanding" (LOUD Women) debut Liquid Compactor.1. If I Needed You Now2. No One Likes Losing3.
