Our Take

Ah, OLD SCHOOL FREIGHT TRAIN – the band that sounds more like a form of transportation than a musical act. But don't let the name fool you, these guys are anything but old school. Their latest album "Runin" is a breath of fresh air in today's stagnant music scene.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world where indie rock meets bluegrass meets funk meets...well, everything really. The band effortlessly blends genres and influences to create a sound that is truly their own.

The standout track has to be "Trainwreck", a catchy, high-energy anthem that will have you tapping your foot and nodding your head in no time. The vocals are smooth and soulful, the instrumentation is top-notch, and the production is crisp and clean.

But it's not all high-energy bangers – tracks like "Midnight Memories" and "Rainy Day Blues" showcase the band's softer side, with heartfelt lyrics and introspective melodies that will tug at your heartstrings.

Overall, "Runin" is a rollercoaster ride of emotions and sounds that will leave you wanting more. OLD SCHOOL FREIGHT TRAIN have truly outdone themselves with this one, proving that they are a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. All aboard the freight train – you won't want to miss this ride.

Tracks like "Whiskey River," with its mournful fiddle lines and haunting harmonies, showcase the band's ability to craft emotionally resonant songs that stay with you long after the record stops spinning. With a discography that includes critically acclaimed albums like "Run," and "Six Years," Old School Freight Train has solidified their reputation as one of the most innovative and exciting bands in the Americana scene.
