Athens, GA Slack-Fuzz-Rock Duo Eureka California Return to the UK this July Touring with Witching WavesJuly 6, 2018Roadrunners by Eureka California comes a decade in for the band, and it's a record only possible to write by having had that span of time to cycle through members, tour and sleep on endless floors or when there are no floors in the van at rest stops or Wal-Mart parking lots, argue over where to eat, turn around after missing exits, log those relentless hours of driving all day to get to the venue only to sit around hours and hours more 'til performing. A decade of side hustles and and soul-sucking jobs just to be able to go on the road and continue the grind for those handful of minutes you get to perform or to record. This is an album that could only have been written by living it. There's no trust fund, no start-up money; this is a record made by a band that works. It's real, it's now, it's a record about frayed nerves, exhaustion, triumph, and being fed up and calling it out. Roadrunners is a records of truths.
