GA-20 clearly is on to something big. It’s a movement, a new traditional blues revival. The dynamic, throwback blues trio are disciples of the place where traditional blues, country and rock ‘n’ roll intersect. “We make records that we would want to listen to,” says guitarist Matt Stubbs. “It’s our take on the song-based traditional electric blues we love.” Stubbs, guitarist/vocalist Pat Faherty, and drummer Tim Carman have been at the forefront of this traditional blues revival since they first formed in 2018. It’s no wonder they skyrocketed to the top of the  Billboard  Blues Chart.  According to Stubbs, “Since we started the band we’ve focused on the story, the melody, and on creating a mood. Playing live as much as we do, we’re finding more and more that people are discovering how cool it all is. Traditional country, soul and funk music have all had these massive recent revivals, but traditional blues so far has not.” With their new Colemine album,  Crackdown , and an intensive tour schedule, that’s all about to change.  On  Crackdown , GA-20’s third full-length release, the band creates an unvarnished, ramshackle blues that is at once traditional and refreshingly modern. Expanding on their previous releases (2019’s  Lonely Soul  and 2021’s  Try It…You Might Like It! GA-20 Does Hound Dog Taylor ) GA-20 finds inspiration on the edges of the genre, where early electric blues first converged with country and rock ‘n’ roll. The album’s nine original songs include the loping, Louisiana-flavored  Dry Run , the dirty, and bare-bones  Easy On The Eyes  and the melodic, garage-tinged  Fairweather Friend . With tight, propulsive performances and a brevity and punk energy reminiscent of The Ramones,  Crackdown  is rowdy and fun, filled with instantly memorable, and well-crafted songs.  If you care to know how a rowdy 1950s Chicago juke joint sounded,  GA -20 are here to help. They keep things simple and fierce...scything, growling riffs, driving grooves, blistering boogies and defiant vocals.––The Guardian(UK)  100% Blues....A pure marvel and delight.—Rolling Stone  A loose, raw, high- energy approach to the blues...guaranteed to get anyone with a pulse onto the dance floor.
