American Aquarium

Friday, May 09 2008 by Frank Stasio and Katie Macpherson

"Alt" or "alternative" country music has been around for years, but the music genre is still defined by its inability to be defined. Alt. country exploded on the Raleigh music scene in the 1990s, but hick rock band American Aquarium is keeping North Carolina's scene fresh. The band’s new album is called “The Bible and the Bottle.” They stop by the studio to chat with Frank and play some songs before kicking off their 44-state summer tour.
