JOHN SCHOOLEY from Austin Texas is one of our Fave !!! he the driving force behind the Hard Feelings (Sympathy for the Record Industry, Dropkick) and the legendary Revelators (Crypt records) and then comes around with his ONE MAN BAND!!! He is the Blues Trash Man of the new century, plays all instruments the same time, Kick Snare, Hi Hat, Harp, Guitar and Sings. 

in 2004 Voodoo Rhythm Released a 4 song vinyl single ‘Drive You Faster’ (a couple years before he released a 7“ on fantastic Goner Records)

... don’t be scared, it’s not only one song he plays that repeats over and over again .. It’s a fantastic view in the work and music of john Schooley, definitely inspired by old Blues such as Elmore James or Robert Johnson; but Schooley uses all the new part of blues and minimal Blues Trash as well in his songs... So it’s a frenetic wild mix of music from Hasil Adkins over to the White Stripes to Joe Hill Louis over the The Oblivians.

Cover art by the one and only Rob Jones (White Stripes) and believe me, this boy has the Blues pretty bad and he’s pissed off about it, and pissed off about almost everything... He is playing raw and wild at the edge Rock’n’Roll and Blues Trash!
