As super groups often go, most usually tend to collapse within the first couple of years, crushed under the weight of three or four giant egos stuffed in the same room for more or less artistic reasons. But in the case of Denver's Dust On The Breakers, there really aren't any egos to be dealt with, just three men and a bunch of their friends who all happen to come from some pretty big Americana bands. Featuring - and let's be honest here - lesser known members of Denver bands such as The Czars, Crooked Fingers and b.diddle, and drawing on contributions from people from 16 Horsepower, The Fray and others, Dust On The Breakers are taking gothic Americana to new levels. In this interview, Americana UK speaks to core members Jeff Linsenmaier, Tim Hussman and Jeff Davenport about their debut ep, American Reclamation, the difference between being a band and a side project and what it's like not having a famous lead singer taking up most of the spotlight.
