Dexter And The Moonrocks are dominating the alternative rock world with their country-tinged grunge, and we are so here for it. After hitting No. 1 on the alternative rock chart with “Sad In Carolina,” the blue-collar Texas rockers are ready to steal your hearts again with the release of Happy To Be Here, as well as a music video for the EP’s title track.
Per the band’s bio, “A fry cook, an oil field operator, a concrete surface decorator, and a kids’ baseball coach came together in West Texas, blending the country and western of their childhoods with the grunge they fell in love with as teenagers. That fusion became Western Space Grunge—a genre of their own making that turned them from a grassroots phenomenon into a force to be reckoned with.”
