These are story songs. Songs about the people we grew up with; grew together with and grew apart from. This music is medicine.

Garage Country is the seventh full-length record from Uncle Ben’s Remedy and their first since 2022. Following the road laid out on the band’s 2024 EP, The Saturday Night Swindle, the album finds UBR pushing further into the space where traditional

country, roots rock, and indie collide. Recorded in Buffalo, NY with engineer and producer Justin Rose at GCR Studios, GARAGE COUNTRY embraces the twang and directness of ’90s country while making plenty of room for the band’s more left-of-center instincts. Songs like “Alabama Slammer” and first single “Gravestone” lean into classic country melodies, guitars, and storytelling, while the layered organs and jangly guitars of “Old Time” and “Calving Season” reveal the indie-rock influence running underneath.

The addition of fiddler and vocalist Kate Clark brings another dimension to the album, particularly on country-driven tracks “Animal” and “Bottom of the Bill.” Across the record, punk-rock energy, swampy back-country grit, unexpected arrangements, and tight vocal harmonies give the songs a distinctly Uncle Ben’s Remedy character.

THE CONSTANT THROUGHOUT GARAGE COUNTRY IS THE SONGWRITING.

“These are story songs. Songs about the people we grew up with; grew together with and grew apart from. This music is medicine. ”

The arrangements are purposeful, the lyrics carry weight, and the stories find their footing in the humor, joy, and celebration of everyday life alongside the harder truths of small-town America and how quickly everything can change. Garage Country is ultimately a record about where you come from, what stays with you, and what happens when you try to make sense of the road between then and now.
