Combining bluegrass, country rock, and folk, Trophy Husbands is an Arizonian supergroup of sorts. With both Dave Insley and Jeff Farias, also keys to the laid-back country sounds of the Nitpickers, and Kevin Daly, a member of surf-punkers Rave Danger, it should come as no surprise that Trophy Husbands offers up an aesthetic that falls somewhere between the two. Their debut, Dark and Bloody Ground, inspired by a murderous 19th century family feud, was released in 2000 to positive reviews, and was followed by Walk With Evil in 2003. ~ Matt Fink
