Search - Antler :: Nothing That a Bullet Couldn't Cure

"Stumbling somewhere between Bob Seger and Nick Cave, Antler provide the perfect soundtrack for black outs, bad news, breakups, and breakdowns." - CMJ Born under a bad sign in 2002, Antler is the newest addition to the Small Stone stable. Steeped in classic rock heritage, their rustic eloquence is gleaned from oily rags, dented chrome, empty bottles, and dingy motel rooms. Their six-man roster and blue-collar soul are throwbacks to the nights when Skynyrd and the Allmans took over the Fillmore `cause they needed the legroom. The members possess both the road-warrior pedigree (3/4 of the mighty Roadsaw) and sonic wherewithal of true rock champions. As such, they deliver an album devoid of crass, retrograde romanticism. Dark lyricism, rough & tumble twin guitars, weeping organ riffs, and whiskey-throated vocals lock together like the callused fingers of a hangman's fist lowering the noose over the throat of the condemned.
