Casey Neill sings for wastrels, roustabouts, wharf rats & Bowery bums ….hell, even for CEOs of multinational corporations! There are boot stompin’ rockers, whiskey soaked ballads, songs mined from the sediment of Whitman, Woody, Shane & Springsteen but songs owing nothing to anyone, purchased with sweat & passion, played on Fender, pennywhistle, glockenspiel, squeezebox, Strummer campfire guitar, whatever’s at hand, with a swagger & a shrug, a yowl and a dog’s breakfast. When the band slams into “Riffraff” and “We Are The City” the room erupts the jubilant, dancing punters of every stripe.    “We’ll dance as long as you play” yells one fan, hoping for all-night.  Fans will be thrilled to know that studio time is booked & new songs toured this Spring will coalesce into the first all-Norway Rats album, upping the ante on last year’s excellent “Brooklyn Bridge”.   Meanwhile,  take a listen to hear why they are nicknamed “The Thundering Herd”.
