In the wake of biological warfare scares, Hackensack New Jersey band Cropduster, is far from being grounded.

Barely 10 miles (18km) northwest of last month's tragic attack on the World Trade Center, Cropduster's recent regional notoriety allowed them to raise money for WTC victims by co-headlining The Music Syndicate Fund for Heros last week in New York

Cropduster's second release entitled Drunk Uncle, is the first release for brand-new indie label We Put Out Records. Drawing rave reviews nationally from acclaimed critics such as Billboard and The Seattle Weekly, Drunk Uncle follows their original self-titled release 'Cropduster' like a one-two punch...hitting you hard with crunching guitars, witty lyrics and great arrangements.

Sounding like the early Rolling Stones meets Weezer, Cropduster resembles The Stones in more than just their sound...their road worthiness is being forged with a busy tour schedule, a growing national (and international) fan base, and more songs being written and recorded in their free time. Cropduster truly has the makings of a long-term mainstream success.
