Speedbuggy USA is a road band bent on coalescing American roots rock with the younger generation, a sound derivative of hard times, blue-collar life and endless tours around the world.

Though without turning their backs on traditional country completely, Speedbuggy USA mingles of California twang with some Buck Owens, the country-rock of the Band, late 60’s era Bob Dylan, Kris Kristofferson, and more recent Joe Strummer. And with the famous Texas Outlaw honky-tonk movement, they’ve made it difficult to exclude the parallels evoked when matching newer kinds of Roots-Alt Country and Rockabilly.
The songs drip with pomade sweat, and through the haunting passion of Timbo’s voice, Sloan’s bass tones, McMullen’s traditional-yet-modern pedal steel and Muzingo’s persevering backbeats, lies a quality of emotional extremes relative to peering out a window on a cross-country road trip and seeing different faces all sharing a similar personal struggle.
