Death Doesn’t Stop Crooked Saws

“If gritty, dirty, feel-it-in-your-bones blues is what you’re after, give this two-piece powerhouse a listen and you won’t want to stop.” On The Rechord

Minneapolis based two piece, Crooked Saws, will release their second album, This Machine Sells Cars, on February 16, 2015.

Several weeks after the release of their first album, 2012’s Mo’Fi, singer/guitarist Jesse Damien Revel (formerly of Chris Kluwe’s band, Tripping Icarus) almost died. A ruptured bowel, emergency surgeries, sepsis, pulmonary emboli, six weeks in the hospital, six months of at home recovery, and a year with a colostomy bag punctuated by a final surgery to put him back together, was all that stood between the band’s first and second albums.

Mo’Fi did well. It found radio play in the US and the UK and television and commercial exposure, from Field & Stream’s Hook Shots to the Outdoor Channel’s Head Hunters, all the way to Showtime’s critically acclaimed Shameless. Their self produced video for the album’s opening track, “Low,” trended on YouTube and has over one hundred thousand views. They’ve opened for Reignwolf at First Avenue and most recently played the 2014 Roots, Rock and Deep Blues Festival.

This Machine Sells Cars is a memory of near-death, of sickness, and is a celebration of life.

The band will promote the new album with online streaming of it via SoundCloud beginning February 1st and release a video for “The Ride” the following week. They’ll celebrate the release with a performance at Lee’s Liquor Lounge on Saturday, February 21, joined by The Oddfathers and The Fattenin’ Frogs. Crooked Saws intends to support the album with a tour beginning in late Spring, 2015.
