Slobberbone was an American alt-country band from Denton, Texas that formed in 1994. Slobberbone toured across the United States many times. The best-known line-up consisted of Brent Best (guitar, vocals), Jess Barr (lead guitar), Brian Lane (bassist), and drummer Tony Harper, although their lineup changed over the years. In early 2005 the band called it quits and played a series of shows for their final farewell tour.

The Drams are a new band formed from the ashes of Slobberbone's demise. The band consists of Brent Best, Jess Barr, and Tony Harper plus Keith Killoren and Chad Stockslager, formerly of Budapest One. They first performed live in the spring of 2005 and have since played a handful of gigs throughout Texas as well as a mini tour across the country with Glossary. Their first studio album, Jubilee Dive, was released through New West Records on July 25, 2006.[1] The band is currently on tour with labelmates Drive-By Truckers.
