The Re-mains are a pioneering original country rock and roll band from Australia. In their five year tenure at the coalface of country rock and roll their banjo and pedal-steel powered dirt-track and highway songs and sounds have won them devoted fans and critical acclaim across Australia and further to parts of Europe and lately the USA. Their music has been likened to influences as diverse as The Band, Nick Cave, Bob Dylan, Gram Parsons, The Who and The Blues Explosion. 　　 　　The band has toured extensively across all parts of Australia: it was their brief from the outset to take the sound of country rock n roll to far-flung destinations nationwide, from the city to the outback. 　　 　　Their debut album, "Thank You For Supporting Country Rock and Roll" (2003), earned four and five star reviews from numerous National dailies and was Album Of The Week at no less than six ABC Regional radio stations. It also established the benchmark sound of country rock n roll as a style quite different from the output of the country (and rock) industry's various leading lights. 　　 　　Since then, The Re-mains have released the EP "Burnin' Daylight" (2004) and the epic long player "Field Conditions" (2005) to sustained critical acclaim with regular reviewer for The Age, Jeff Glorfeld declaring "There's enough here to suggest that The Re-mains are the best country rock act in Australia." 　　 　　The Re-mains are possibly the only band currently conducting regular and extensive tours to the remote parts of Australia - including Arnhem Land and Central Australia - while still maintaining an ever increasing foothold in the urban centres. Outback audiences know the band come from afar but warm to them in only a matter of a few songs while city audiences can detect the desert dust from the downbeat. 　　 　　They've successfully straddled the gap between Rock and Country as shown by their repeated appearances at festival as diverse as the Tamworth Country Music Festival, Splendour in the Grass, The East Coast Blues and Roots Music Festival, The St. Kilda Festival and many others. 　　 　　Their driving, infectious style is generated by a road-hardened and inspired group of five musicians whose individual talents give the Re-mains a sound that sets them apart from their peers and has won them dedicated fans far and wide. Fresh off the press (Oct 06) is the live album, "Love's Last Stand - The Re-mains LIVE" which is a testament to the power of the band.
