While 2016 is looking to be a watershed year for these dudes, it is important to look at the grassroots support and organic exposure from 2015, which pushed their EP towards the top of the regional charts in both air-play (WRFL College Radio) and record sales (Independently owned “CD-Central”), leading to a popular “WRFL-Live” performance on Thanksgiving eve. As word spread, and EPs changed hands, eventually even R & R Hall of Famer Billy Gibbon’s took notice
Frontier Folk Nebraska believes in the continuing relevance of a
classic‐era kind of alt‐rock that flirts with occasional messiness in
order to let its organically electric sound come together without too
much art‐think or conceptualism. Faith is put in the music’s energy
as the right conduit to showcase interesting songwriting… Neither
from Nebraska nor a folk group, Frontier Folk Nebraska is instead a
Cincinnati band that sounds like the Replacements attacking power
pop with their thrashing guitar‐and‐drum energy kept in check by
their love for melody and appealing song structure.” – Steve Rosen
