The Tug Fork River Band was a Southern groove metal band from Indianapolis, Indiana. The group formed in 2006, but disbanded in 2013.

History

[edit]

The band began in 2006 with the lineup of vocalist Aaron Quinn, guitarist Justin Foxworth, bassist Brian Dukes, and drummer David Leap.[2] In 2007, the band released their debut EP independently, titled The Dirty Dirty. In May 2009, they released their debut album through Wounded Records, titled Catch for Us the Metal.[3] The band was originally supposed to be a part of Dimebag Darrell (Pantera, Damageplan)'s tribute album.[1] In 2011, Leap departed from the band and was replaced by Derek Schweilbold. In 2012, the band released Vulture independently.[4] The EP was originally jokingly titled POOP-EP; Foxworth drew the album cover and the album was then titled Vulture.[5] The band released a lyric video for "Ex Wives" off the EP, which received positive reviews.[6] To support the EP, the band went on a mini-tour with Becoming the Archetype.[7] In 2013, the band released their final EP, No Hope for Man, their best-known material.[8][9][10] In 2017, the band re-released their debut EP, The Dirty Dirty, due to recent requests from their fans.[11]
