Born where the dust bowl never died, the West Texas-raised trio that is Shallowater - Blake Skipper (guitar/vocals), Tristan Kelly (bass), and Ryan Faulkenberry (drums) - combines lowcore, post-hardcore, country, and Americana elements that defy genre labels. Quickly establishing themselves as ones to watch in the alt-country/slowcore scene, the power trio's self-described 'raw West Texas dirtgaze' has positioned the band as an evocative and distinctive force amongst current alternative genre-blending projects.
