No Depression Features Drunk Stuntmen

==============================================

Drunk Stuntmen are the focus of an extensive feature in the Mar/Apr 2003 edition of No Depression. No Depression is the world's premier magazine covering alt.country (whatever that is) music. Subscription copies of the issue are circulating already. It is scheduled to hit newsstands the week of March 3, 2003.

Commonly, a band's first feature in No Depression is limited to a stock photo and a couple columns on one page. The Drunk Stuntmen feature is eight pages long, led off by a two-page full band photo and the headline "Barroom Blitz: Massachusetts' Drunk Stuntmen found their way out of a jam through the sounds of the south." The feature was written by No Depression co-editor Peter Blackstock and includes photos by Shawn Rocco and co-editor Grant Alden.

The article includes a thorough musical history of the Stuntmen, a full band interview, and praise for the band's new album Iron Hip. "From the straight-shooting opener Downtown to the dramatic ebb-and-flow of Low to the instantly catchy pop of Out of Bed to the powerful balladry of Stars, Iron Hip represents a significant step forward in songwriting from the band's first two records. It may be a lost cause, however, for the Drunk Stuntmen ever to capture in the studio the sheer energy and charisma that radiates throughout the room when they're onstage."

According to the No Depression Web site (www.nodepression.net), the magazine is distributed directly to over 180 independent record stores and newsstands. International chain stores that carry No Depression include Tower Records, Borders Books and Music, Barnes & Noble, Virgin Megastores, and Chapters (in Canada). International circulation accounts for 11 percent of the magazine?s total.

Drunk Stuntmen would like to extend enormous thanks to Peter, Grant, Shawn, and the entire staff at No Depression for their interest and support. We encourage all our fans who aren't subscribers already to pick up a copy of No Depression issue #44 next week (and send in the card to start your own subscription if you know what's good for you).
