Minnesota Public Radio: Palomino review
The Current: Watch “Feet and Bones”
Esquire Magazine | March, 2011:
“Many bluegrass bands love to show off their speed, but this outfit, from Duluth, Minnesota, invested its supercharged songs with a hooky playfulness and white-knuckle power. Fans of the Avett Brothers’s raucous side ought to take note, if they haven’t already.”
AOL Spinner | March, 2010:
“Blazing unchartered acoustic territory with a repertoire of rapid-fire fiddle, banjo and mandolin. This is pleasant, hard-charging, barn-burning music. The lyrics are introspective, and the songs are infectiously raucous.”
UTNE Reader | June, 2010:
“Trampled by Turtles play acoustic music with a rock and roll heart, often pushing the speed limit with their lineup of guitar, bass, banjo, mandolin, and fiddle. But just when you think they’re going to get pulled over by the bluegrass police, they ease back and deliver a pensive folk number that’s just as pretty as you please.”
The Boston Phoenix | May 27, 2010:
“Duluth act Trampled By Turtles are twisting bluegrass as they see fit.”
Country Music Television | May 26, 2010:
“The break-neck speed that graces much of their Palomino album — which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s bluegrass chart — speaks to a diverse musical background that includes punk and indie-rock bands.”
Crawdaddy Magazine | April 21, 2010:
“This stuff is the real deal, American bluegrass taken to its righteous extreme, and the awesomeness just pours out of the five-piece and into one’s ears like that welcomed sting of the whiskey cure.”
AllMusic.com:
“Call it bluegrass thrash if you like, a rip-snortin’, fire-breathin’ kind of post-punk folk music that mashes up traditional country picking with a decidedly rock & roll approach.”
