Few “neo-traditionalists” have dared to stray too far from the “traditionalist” part of that equation. Fans of the genre tend to be fervently purist. Boston-based band Oneside, however, isn’t afraid to risk biting the hand that feeds it. Oneside’s debut album, “First, To Last”, is full of structures, lyrics, and licks that are unabashedly plucked from the traditional American canon. Other bands may play strictly in a conventional roots style but what sets Oneside apart is their willingness to take these traditional fundamentals and place them firmly in a modern context. Oneside is:

• Ned deBary - Guitars, Lead Vocals
• Chris Hersch - Banjo
• Grafton Pease - Bass, Vocals
• Jake Brooks - Drums, Vocals
