Description:
"Another RoadSide Attraction hails from Roanoke, Virginia, but they could have just as easily stepped out of Coney Island in the mid-1950s, or a forgotten diner along Route 66, or any number of dusty midwestern traveling carnivals. They evoke boardwalks, midways, sideshows, World Fairs, and all the best elements of true Americana. It is scientifically impossible to go wrong with any band that features both a kazoo AND a ukulele, and if you're able to watch them without cracking a smile and tapping a toe, then you should probably consider checking your pulse."
--Ben R. Williams, Director of Guerrilla Programming at Studio Roanoke

"ANOTHER ROADSIDE ATTRACTION('s) signature sound is equal parts gypsy jazz, vaudeville, circus funhouse, and riverboat steam, rattled around in a boxcar for a couple thousand miles, served with sangria and sausages."
- Charles Alan Reynolds III, of SatelliteKill Orchestra
