Chris Margolin & The ContrabandForget your dusty notions of Americana. Chris Margolin & The Contraband aren't here for sepia-toned nostalgia. They're a Portland-based outfit hell-bent on resurrecting the genre with a shot of adrenaline and a fistful of heartbreak.Margolin (The Dregs, Dead Bird Collection, Lucy Gray, Cedars & Crows), a smoky-voiced veteran of the scene, leads the charge with lyrics that weave tales of grit and glory, regret, and redemption. Backed by a band as tight as a gambling debt Mike Buffam's guitar solos slap like the desert sun, Austin Crook (Shelter Red) lays down a bassline as steady as a heartbeat, and Aaron Arbogast smashes the drums with the fury of a thunderstorm they conjure a sound that's equal parts barroom brawl and backwoods gospel revival.Their debut album, "Carnival Station," isn't a collection of polite campfire singalongs. It's a raw, whiskey-soaked odyssey that grabs you by the collar and doesn't let go.So, if you're looking for Americana with a pulse, a band that'll leave you breathless and begging for more, then keep your eyes peeled for Chris Margolin & The Contraband.PurusaPurusa is an alternative rock band, originally formed in Portland in 1999 by lead singer Kris Kirkman and guitarist Zach Hinkelman.
