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 the new band of Slobberbone musicians Brent Best, Jess Barr, and Tony Harper. New to the line-up are 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 small 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.

[edit] Trivia

Stephen King is a fan and has mentioned Slobberbone in the novel "Black House" written with Peter Straub. Their song "Gimme Back My Dog" is mentioned as being one of the great new rock songs of the past five years.^{[citation needed]} Although never publicly confirmed, the album 'Slippage' could very well be Slobberbone's nod to King. The word 'Slippage' is an important term in "Black House.'
