Why We Like It

  • Altered Five smokes, smolders and burns like a swig of good whiskey.
  • Barrel-chested front man Jeff Taylor possesses a smooth, warm-toned voice as monumental and undeniable as Howlin' Wolf with the finish and flourish of B.B. King.
  • Stealth guitarist Jeff Schroedl reaches the high bar of mixed invention and fluidity, fueled by a rhythm section laying down the deepest grooves this side of the MGs.
