NOCONA

Nocona has never treated Americana as a fixed destination. Instead, the band has spent its career blurring the boundaries between country, punk, garage rock, psychedelia, and roots music, creating a sound that’s as indebted to Buck Owens and the Bakersfield tradition as it is to Roky Erickson, The 13th Floor Elevators, The Gun Club, The Blasters, Love, and The Flying Burrito Brothers. The result is a swaggering hybrid where twang collides with fuzz-drenched guitars and honky-tonk hooks meet punk-rock urgency. - Glide Magazine
