(antiMusic) The Payola Reserve is hitting the road next week in support of their new album 200 Years. Here is what their hometown paper the Baltimore CityPaper had to say about them: "Its time to wake up, America! Its okay to love tradition, but dont let your love for roots rock and Americana music stay mired in the past. On The Payola Reserves blistering new DIY album 200 Years, the Baltimore band pays homage to its folk rock heroes (Bob Dylan, Neil Young, The Band), but brings the genre right into the 2000s with incisive, straight to the gut songwriting and the intense, sarcastic energy of their live shows. All of this bodes well for the genres future. That is, if lead singer Ben Pranger could get off the freewheeling apocalyptic trip hes on"
