I heard these fellas at Stroud...Good drum group. It appeared to me they have some guys from Yellowhammer, Yellowjacket, Southern Thunder and another group, they go about 10-12 deep. I talked with a few that weekend and I think, but I think they are trying for a contemporary Southern style flava. Regardless they have all the goods with good energy. They should give the southern category a run. My only question what happens if Yellowhammer or Southern Thunder sets-up will they stick with BMR (Bad Moon Rising)?
BTW, Southern Thunder won the drum contest at Stroud that weekend, winner take all.
We hope u all enjoy our recordin, were just gettin started and should be a bigger presence next summer. Most of the singers come from various drums but were tryin to bring in younger singers. But for the most part we all just love to sing and make everyone around feel good thats what were all about, so i hope u all enjoy are tape and youll here more from us in the future. Oh be on the lookout for are next recordin live.
The link above should take you to the site that sells their commercial release, and is also the site of the store owned by the guy that put the deal out for them.
They have a very Southern Thunder sound if you ask me. But, still, a new sound, very pleasing. A good crew came together on this one. I heard some old songs on there, but, with a twist, and some that sounded better this time around mostly on account of some singers having aged and refined their voices.
Who's the guy leading on the release anyway? He's got a keen lead.......very original with alot of feeling and "vocal dexterity" & range.
I for one recommend purchasing a copy....it's a good one!!!
Is there info about the album or a way to order it on the website? I clicked on the link but didn't see anything.

I want to know what yall think about some of the new groups. Like Southern Xposure,Southern Boyz, Moon Dogs,Native Action,etc. I think some of these group are pretty good. Southern boyz are slammin with just eight guys . Now if they could find about three...
I recently ran across a post from Sirdaddy where he commented on how quite a few southern singers are taking their leads way up there nowadays. I'm not calling any names, I think we all know someone who is guilty of this if not you yourself. I know I am.
It is my understanding that as a drum, you are either Northern style or Southern style. Would you frown upon a Southern drum singing Northern songs or a Northern drum singing Southern songs at a powwow? I witnessed that at a powwow this weekend. I understand a singers desire to sing both styles but...
The reason I'm posing this question, is because I've seen some posts that question the "southerness" of Hochunk drums.
As far as I have been taught and what I have experienced, the Hochunk Nation's drums are straight-up southern, albeit, deep in woodland country. Please, tell me what...
