American Restless - Rust Belt Rock N Roll (2023) Hi-Res

Hard-scrabble and unapologetically influenced by midwestern punk and blues, the music of American Restless channels the the feral-energy of garage rock, force of post-hardcore, and the swagger of neo-rockabilly, earning the trio subgenre monikers like “Spaghetti-Midwestern” and “Psych-A-Billy”.

Hard-scrabble, the music of American Restless channels the force of post-hardcore, the feral-energy of garage rock, and the swagger of neo-rockabilly, the group would describe their sounds as “Rust Belt Rock N Roll.” Originally from Racine, WI, the band’s hometown is best known for its industrial legacy and stiff blue-collars. But its proximity to Milwaukee and Chicago made it rife with blues, metal, and DIY punk music, all of which define the sonic DNA of the band. Though currently based in Michigan and Colorado, it is these very roots that endure to define the band.
