"Badlands is the debut album this trio of siblings, which consists of Danielle Schnebelen (lead vocals and bass), Nick Schnebelen (guitars and vocals), and Kris Schnebelen, (drums). The band is in good company with producer (and drummer for Robert Cray), Tony Braunagel ... Braunagel's influence is evident on the tracks "Bad Bad Feeling," which is similar to Bonnie Raitt's work in the '90s, and the title track "Badlands," which sounds like it could have been on a Robert Cray album. Trampled Under Foot's first major-label release will appeal to a wide audience without the group having to compromise their blues root".
