Power of County

Black leather vest, boots and bolo ties adorn this classic posse of country musicians. Power of County is the inception of classic country story telling with the speed and aggressiveness of rock n roll. This is not a new band but one who has found and lost themselves again and again. Their lyrics are highly reminiscent of days gone by reflecting chaos, excess, lust and murder all mixed with instrumentation that is exceptional on its own. So grab a shot of whiskey, kick your boots up and enjoy.



During the summer of O7, they successfully supported Jim Goad in opening for the national act Hank Williams III. Since then, Power of County has opened for national acts including the Sadies, the Knitters, and Or, The Whale. Based out of Portland, Oregon the Power of County has been lauded by regional press as punk rock cowboys on a mission to bring Western back to Country.
Reviews: "Power of County have .produced as fine an album of ass whuppin’ country rock as I’ve heard in a long time. In less than 30 minutes this album covers all the bases with frantic country rockers and booze soaked ballads. Death, prison and greed all figure." Paul Kerr, Americana UK
"(T)his is an exceptional in ya face take no prisoners Country album full of the licks and kicks that most contemporary Country music lacks. It is absolutely ornery with tobacco spitting arrangements with great tempo changes that call out for the listener to keep up. How could you not like this album, it calls out for a party, so pass the bottle of whiskey and lets dance! You have won us over with this cd, yes definitely impressed us all." Peter Merritt, Acid Country PBS Australia
