LEFT LANE CRUISER / Claw Machine Wizard

Vinyl LP pressing. Indiana's trash-blues outfit Left Lane Cruiser is back on Alive with an album of high-energy R&B. Claw Machine Wizard is a return to the band's two man format, and features corky barn burners like "Claw Machine Wizard" and "Booga Chaka," alongside punked out blues numbers such as "Burn Em Brew" and "High Maintenance." The album even includes a soul/reggae-influenced ballad titled "Lay Down," showing that the boys can step out of their comfort zone. Headed by slide guitar extraordinaire Freddy J IV, and backed by drumming machine Pete Dio, Left Lane Cruiser has been making records for over a decade, and along with their music being featured in many hit television series such as Banshee, Breaking Bad, and Nashville, they've been receiving critical acclaim across the globe.
