BIO

The Weekenders are a raw rock n’ roll band from Salt Lake City.  Fans and critics have compared their blues-rock hybrid sound to The Black Keys, The White Stripes and Led Zeppelin.  Raised on classic rock and Motown, but seduced by the crunch of grunge, The Weekenders embrace fuzz, groove and soul.  Their gritty riffs and introspective lyrics are not to be missed.

Here’s what the press is saying:

I could easily describe their music by comparing them to every psychedelic band from the seventies with touches of early grunge. But a better description would be to say that they are a band with no limitations. A band that lays it all on the line with no reserves both musically and lyrically.”          Indie Music Reviewer (4 out of 5 stars )

If you are a fan of heavy 70s rock, Don’t Plan On by The Weekenders is an album you should get for yourself.” Examiner.com

Think, the days when Page and Plant reigned supreme, Leslie West was the size of a mountain and Grand Funk still had… well, funk.  The Weekenders really manage to capture that early 70′s vibe….But they’re not without they’re own modern touch. Much like Jack White’s latest work that echos a bygone era, everything is bathed in a distinct homage to the classics.”    Ride with The Devil
