The Ex Husbands

Style: 70's-style country rock / Insurgent country

Formed: 1993

Stomping grounds: New York City

The band was formed by "three jaded New York City rockers who were looking to get back to their country roots." Drummer Mark Miller is influenced by heavy metal, and when asked what sort of music he plays, says, "heavy western, man." I'm taking all this from their promotional bio, but really, it's not as bad as it sounds! They play bitchin', straightforward, back-to-basics, roadhouse country rock.
