Dirty Rig

Professing to play what they call "beer metal" (a heavy amalgam of Southern, stoner, and classic rock), Long Island-based Dirty Rig is vocalist Ed Sebastian, guitarist Chas Banellis, bassist Steve "Buckshot" Seabury, and drummer Dave Ardolina. Their tongue-in-cheek debut, Blood, Sweat and Beer Make America Strong, was released by The Music Cartel in 2003. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
