All the Rage (Nashville)
Led by Wess Floyd, Nashville band the Daisycutters put on one of the best straightahead, no-frills rock shows we've seen in the past year. Taking cues from Petty and Springsteen, Floyd and company sweat through sets of high energy, unpretentious roots rock

The Nashville Scene
12th & Porter: Power pop appears in many guises, and can be the most blandly formal of all pop styles, but for Dothan, Ala., natives Wess and Blount Floyd, playing in the manner of The Replacements, The Faces and Big Star isn't a nostalgia trip. The Daisycutters are a relatively new band, and it shows in their exuberance and their intelligent synthesis of '70s pop and '90s post-modernism. On "Wrong" they reinvigorate standard tropes like getting turned on by girls who are gone, and during "Record Player," a catchy cowbell-driven rocker, they get away with lines like, "Somebody stole my record player / It's all I had to get me over you." They favor rhythm-guitar interaction over solos, and seem unpretentious while harboring dreams of rock 'n' roll glory. The brothers Floyd plan to release an EP in late August; this is a chance to see a talented young band with something to prove. — EDD HURT July '06

Though Floyd may fall under the Roots Rock banner because he has some twang in his tunes, make no mistake - he and his E Street Like band roll like the Stones and rock like Springsteen. Their not out to rewrite the Rock & Roll rule book, but sure have studied it. And it pays off in their highly entertaining live sets.
