Seven years slog around Australia and Canada burning out players, vans and probability. Three full length albums, two Eps, around 850 gigs. Toured Canada in 2008 and 2009 releasing Best of album and a new record 'Inland Sea' recorded with the brilliant Christian Pyle at Prawn and Spanner Studio. Imminently to release the Australian version, titled 'Courage ... and shuffle the cards'. " ...The Re-Mains are from ...an ... alternate world ... where Dead Flowers by The Rolling Stones was a mainstream hit, where Townes Van Zandt is a household name, where Uncle Tupelo never split but Son Volt and Wilco still play and record. An alternate universe where every time you turn on the radio you can hear Kris Kristofferson and Corb Lund and John Prine and The Poor Choices and Elliott Brood and Cuff The Duke and Blackie & The Rodeo Kings. Willie P. Bennett is given a state funeral and The Perpetrators are given The Order of Canada. I will call that world Austin World and I will live there very happily, thankyou very much." (Rob Slack, Slt Ste Marie Star) “… there’s enough here to advance the argument that The Re-mains are the best country-rock band in Australia.” - (Jeff Glorfeld, The Age) "Wilco and Uncle Tupelo fans will require very little convincing.." - (Tom Jellet, The Weekend Australian) “Once the Re-mains cranked up, the joint exploded from slumber to an unmissable event. We’d long heard of these kings of the road, but nobody expected that much.” - (Ben Quinn, The Newcastle Herald) “Their earlier work drew comparisons to American alt-country heroes, but I’m betting there’s a rich vein of Australian influence here. The Re-mains walk that tightrope with pride and skill.” - (Music Australia Guide) "The Re-mains sound like a well-oiled touring machine, with material that sounds well tested down dirt tracks and cattle grids." - (Time Off Magazine) "Youse blokes are %&^* champs, have a trophy." - (Drunk publican, Casino NSW) |
