DEEP WITHIN EP

Relix Magazine

June 2022

New Music Compilation CD Issue


"The new Deep Within EP is a sonic roller-coaster ride through a sad and beautiful modern world. Title track 'Deep Within' is a sitar and mellotron-driven magical mystery tour of inner space, with blazing guitars, feedback freakouts and art rock sensibilities. The revolution is not outside it is within."

WINTERTIME EP

WLUR Lexington, Virginia

New Music: Week of 04/01


"The Back Roads make guitar-driven rock with more than just a hint of country on the 4-song Wintertime EP. 'Cold Snow Night' is a bar-rock blast with distorted guitars, while 'Whiskey John' and the title track showcase the band's Americana influences." Jeremy
