about

What a mighty, quirky noise comes from the Denton duo of Ryan Thomas Becker and Grady Don Sandlin! They run the gamut musically from rock to blues to twangy almost-country to odd pop and beyond. In fact, their myspace description says "soul/experimental/folk rock", and those tags apply equally as well. Yeah, RTB2 is weird, but nothing that you can't wrap your head around... metaphorically, think of RTB2 like an ugly puppy -- it's scraggly, disproportioned, and half its ear is missing, but you can't help but love it. As for lyrical content, I suggest you get the CD, some whiskey and a joint, get comfy, and listen to it through headphones so your brain can truly appreciate this two-headed creature called RTB2.
