After beloved Texas alt-country act
Slobberbone played their final show in 2004,
Brent Best, the group's guitarist and singer, did some musical soul-searching. He invited various Dallas area musicians to his home studio, and when he wasn't recording other bands, he was having some fun with his own demos. Out of this solo experimentation period came
the Drams -- an alternative country quintet that's actually more pop than country. With
Best playing the role of frontman and guitarist once again alongside
Slobberbone guitarist Jess Barr and drummer Tony Harper, fans of the recently defunct band were eager to hear the same music from
the Drams. But if
Slobberbone were alternative country-rock,
the Drams are alternative country-pop. Former
Budapest One frontman Keith Killoren welcomed his new role as bass player for
the Drams and the group was given added dimension from pianist/organist Chad Stockslager, also of
Budapest One. The Drams' debut album,
Jubilee Dive, was released in July of 2006. ~ Megan Frye
