Portland’s Chris Margolin & The Contraband blend whiskey-soaked rock with the grit of alt-country. With influences ranging from Manchester Orchestra and Jason Isbell to Counting Crows and the Rolling Stones, the band’s sound is bold, honest, and emotionally raw. Their new EP David St. (out July 18) leans heavier into alt-rock while holding onto rootsy lyrical depth. Having shared the stage with The Wallflowers, Whiskey Myers, and The Record Company, the band delivers a sound that’s both familiar and fresh
