Deadboy, Lil Jabba, Feral

Feral is an Oakland-based band formed in the tradition of The Knitters, Patsy Cline, Mischief Brew, Ramshackle Glory, and Billy Bragg. Full of piss, vinegar, and bonafide heart-on-your-sleeve heartbreak, with a penchant for duets and upright basslines that bust holes through the wall, this trio is writing doomed waltzes and toxic two steps to remind you of why you fell in love... And why you started drinking... All at the same time.

Formed in late 2013, Feral is Cindy Emch (Rhubarb Whiskey, Vagabondage, Sinners Tonic, OWDU), Norman Carley (Jerk Church), and Ed Cagnacci (Officer Down). They are currently working on their first album and have been featured on Couch by Couchwest 2014. You can preview their album at musiciansareferal.bandcamp.com

Feral the bandname was born of a quote by touring musician, the Juno-nominated Carolyn Mark, who, while drinking at the homestead of Emchy, declared "touring musicians are Feral" - it did not take long for this to become an obvious moniker for an awesome musical project.
