Album Premiere: Left Lane Cruiser Hail the Leaf on 'Dirty Spliff Blues'

Left Lane Cruiser, a hard-rocking blues band from Indiana, delivers a pot-fueled adventure on their latest record. Armed with big, buzzing guitars, relentless drums and threats to "smoke napalm with the bamboo skins," it's a fun, wild ride, and according to singer and guitarist Freddie J IV, it was just as pleasant to write.

"The core group of songs on this record were written at soundchecks during a nine-month period of touring the U.S. and Europe," he wrote. "After a long drive, we would get to the club. Burn one down. Fuckin' jam at soundcheck. Then we had a new tune. It went on like that for a while. This album was written entirely under the guidance and influence of marijuana. No dirty spliffs (joints with a mix of tobacco and pot) were used in the making of this record."



Dirty Spliff Blues will be released on June 16 and can be ordered via iTunes or in various physical formats.
