Check out some recent press below The Dry Heathens and First Contact With Ground:

"The Dry Heathens craft massive songs of raucous energy - air-strike epics that inspire equal parts emotion and movement." &mdash Jamie Williams, Diversions (The Daily Tar Heel)

"The band hammers at feedback-and-vitriol punk laced with shots of hook and twang, like Drive By Trucker Mike Cooley woodshedding with Social Distortion" — Grayson Currin, Independent Weekly

"As fist-pumpingly anthemic as it is devastatingly sentimental, First Contact With Ground is the sound of what romance becomes after it is crushed by a harsh, uncaring world" (4-ear review, "Shove it in your earhole", Issue 3) &mdash Jordan Lawrence, Shuffle Magazine

"Durham's The Dry Heathens features a muscular, distortion-drenched attack less about throttle than contoured roar. The sinewy hooks leave a sizeable sonic footprint." — Chris Parker, Independent Weekly

The Dry Heathens are:

Darren Sink — Guitar, Vocals
Steven Jones — Bass
Dave Parent — Drums
