Review of Duty To Warn by Dirty Rock Magazine (Spain), writer Carlos Pérez Báez

“GravelRoad released their ninth album this past June, titled “Duty to Warn ,” produced by Jack Endino , where the 10 new tracks explore the well-earned guitar interplay gained from tens of thousands of miles of touring across the United States and Europe over the course of their last eight albums and 20 years on the road.

This is the band’s fourth release with Jack Endino, after working on their previous album Crooked Nation (2020), Capitol Hill country blues (2016) and El Scuerpo (2014). The Seattle quartet is capable of getting you on your feet with a bang of the best North Mississippi Blues, Psychedelia, Heavy Rock and Punk from the band that was the backing band of the great T-Model Ford for five years (2008-2013).

GravelRoad is made up of Stefan Zillioux, Martin Reinsel, Jon Kirby Newman, and Joe Johnson. GravelRoad revisits that nostalgia with Black Sabbath-esque beats, a crossroads between John Lee Hooker and the most cannibalistic boogie-woogie of the Mississippi Delta. Muddy landscapes of reverb-soaked guitars and hypnotic rhythms that challenge your senses, prepare to be sated by this new studio album from the Seattle-based heavy blues rockers.”
