Chicago’s incendiary rockers Trickshooter Social Club ignite fiery new passions with the monumental “Mile Wide.” Semi-erudite and unashamedly feisty, this amazing band is now firmly establishing itself as pioneers of progressive Americana. Led by the guitarist Larry Liss and frontman Steve Simoncic, “Mile Wide” demonstrates a band at its best and with limitless potential.
Right from the first line as Liss’ riff soars, there is an energy that grips the song, an urgent beat that is a combination of blues-rock stomp and alt-country roll. Liss’ scorching strings and the raw energy of the rhythm section take stories of perseverance, fighting and rising from the ashes to new heights of stadium rock. Simoncic presents each literary scene and character with a vocal growl developed from years of thrilling stages in Chicago. Since its inception, TSSC has sparked rock clubs and festivals across the country. Opening for everyone from revered blues legends to punk rule breakers, their exciting blend of genres has made them a must-see act in their hometown of Chicago and beyond, including New York, Los Angeles and beyond. Critical acclaim praises their raw passion and the capacity to subvert expectations and motivate with lyrics.
On “Mile Wide,” that special combination of music and vocals is at its most intense. This band will have fans of such bands as Wilco and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club finding new passion with which to love this band. As Trickshooter Social Club goes on with its purposeful creative destruction and its message of inspired anarchy through stirring rock, “Mile Wide” is a testament that they have only started to break the ceiling. This is rock ‘n’ roll as the instrument of defiance, platform for atonement, and vehicle of defiance – a phenomenon that can only evolve in terms of its capacity to compel devotees to engage in the celebration of its emancipatory message. To TSSC, creative restlessness implies that the wide horizon always stretches before them.
