Lucas, Austin

Putting The Hammer Down

Having played in crust and grind bands such as RUNE and TWENTYTHIRD CHAPTER, as well as technical punk outfit K10 PROSPECT, Austin currently lives in Praha, Czech Republic and splits his time touring solo and playing guitar in the Orc-core Crust band GUIDED CRADLE. However, as many will infinitely attest, it is truly Austin's skillful and soulful homage to his country and bluegrass roots that leave all listening audiences haunted with a stirring sense of amazement. "Putting The Hammer Down" is Austin's North American debut for Magic Bullet Records. On it, you'll find 8 songs harkening the rich heritage and tradition of great American country and folk music past, rounded out by the strong DIY ethic and punk progressiveness that played a large part in shaping both artist and label over the years. In the end, you're left with an album that reaches across generational and genre lines in a way that few artists could ever dream of or hope for. For fans of Jason Molina/ Magnolia Electric Co., Lucero, Ani Defranco.
