Indiana's trash-blues outfit Left Lane Cruiser is back with an album of high-energy R&B. Claw Machine Wizard is a return to the band's two-man format, and features corky barn burners like Claw Machine Wizard and Booga Chaka, alongside punked-out blues numbers such as Burn Em Brew and High Maintenance. The album even includes a reggae/soul-influenced ballad titled Lay Down, showing that the boys can step out of their comfort zone.

Headed by slide guitar extraordinaire Freddy J IV, and backed by drumming machine Pete Dio, Left Lane Cruiser have been making records for over a decade, and along with their music being featured in many hit television series such as Banshee, Breaking Bad and Nashville, they have been receiving critical acclaim across the globe.
