Portland, Oregon junkbox duo Hillstomp, is infamous for digging through the dumps and forgotten backwoods of American music, recycling traditional elements into a refreshing and distinctive brand of do-it-yourself hill country blues stomp. North Mississippi trance blues, a bit of Appalachia, and a dash of punkability come clanging and tumbling from assorted buckets, cans and BBQ lids all drenched in rambunctious slide guitar. Somehow it works. 

Despite their homemade instruments and novel approach, Hillstomp is no novelty act.

Hillstomp's memorable live performances tap into a magic that cannot be rehearsed, converting outlaws and traditionalists alike from skeptics into preachers.
