"Frontier Ruckus is a roots-based band from East Lansing, MI that incorporates elements of rock, folk, bluegrass, country, blues, and jazz into their lyric-driven songs. The band recorded a six-song EP in 2006 entitled I Am the Water You Are Pumping, which was self-released. Five of those songs appeared again in 2008 on the band’s first full-length album, The Orion Songbook, named for Orion Township, a Metro Detroit suburb. The following year, Frontier Ruckus released The Orion Songbook as a double vinyl on Lower Peninsula Records with Way Upstate & the Crippled Summer, Pt. 1, another 6-song EP, appearing as the 4th side.
Way Upstate & the Crippled Summer, pt. 2 is a conclusion to an important piece of symmetry in early Frontier Ruckus mythology. Taking a detour from their typical sound, band tests the waters of the country genre with new EP."
