AboutWaco Brothers are an alt-country punk band whose intense and provocative live performances are a staple of their cult fan base. They formed in the early 1990's as an outlet for Jon Langford (the Mekons) to pursue his interest in alt-country. What resulted was an in-your-face, rollicking, devil-may-care quintet whose punk roots punch through the twang. Watch them performing tracks from the band's diverse discography here on Audiotree Live.

The Waco Brothers was formed by Jon Langford of the Mekons. The group grew out of Langford's wish to play more country-influenced music as the Mekons concentrated more on a punk sound. They were originally put together simply for local Chicago shows, but the success of their Bloodshot Records albums allowed them to tour the US occasionally. Many of the members also participate in Langford's Pine Valley Cosmonauts project.

The band recorded the first of its eight studio albums in 1995. Their album, Waco Express: Live & Kickin' at Schuba's Tavern is a concert recording which Ken Tucker, the pop music critic for NPR's Fresh Air and Editor-at-Large at Entertainment Weekly, described as "country as it should be written and played, with a long memory for roadhouse honky-tonks rather than TV-ready music videos." Author and music critic Sarah Vowell told the Chicagoist, "I've never been able to find a live band in New York as consistently thrilling and funny and fun as the Waco Brothers."

In 2012, the Waco Brothers collaborated with Nashville mainstay Paul Burch to produce Great Chicago Fire. The Chicago Tribune said of the album, "If the Rolling Stones were still making great records, this would be it."
