BACK DOOR SLAM CAME IN THIRD?! Woohooo!! Congrats to our young guys from the tiny Isle who are doing so well in the US of A - really proud of you three. To see the Slam surrounded by all those massive names, when they’ve worked their Manx hineys off in the States for the last 18 months, really brings a smile. If you like Jimi H, Stevie RV, Rory G, Eric C or John Mayer, check out backdoorslam.com to see what all the fuss is about. Thanks Austin :)

Would have loved to have been there! I hear it was an incredible time! Maybe next year…And hopefully, Back Door Slam will be there again! Heard the crowd really enjoyed their set, and based on CD sales…seems to be the case!

back door slam is the finest thing in music in a long time.
after watching the videos, i think they are a must see act.

I have not been this jazzed about a group in DECADES! Every Friday at work in MY operatory is BDS. I cannot tell you how many patients I am converting! :-)
