They're hard gigging, hard living...and hard up. Bullish Welsh rockers The Texas Flood might not be awash with cash but the riff-soaked trio are in no mood to let empty pockets destroy their rock and roll dream. New album Overworked and Underpaid says it all where the next generation of Britain's fiercely ambitious bands is concerned. But drummer and vocalist Tom Williams wouldn t have it any other way. 'It's a constant struggle being in a band,' admitted The Texas Flood's rhythm king. 'It's a conversation that crops up all the time: can we do it? We're always having to pull in favours to keep things going but we're not alone. It's hard work. But if we want The Texas Flood to make its mark then it has to be done. The dream is to do this full time and full-on. But dreams don't pay the bills.' Overworked and Underpaid is far from defeatist. In fact, it's a brutally strong statement of intent from a band that simply refuses to be beaten. The Texas Flood are born survivors at a time when throwing in the towel is the easy option. 'We're going nowhere,' added Williams. 'Apart from back on the road - where we belong.' Williams, Tom Sawyer (guitars/vocals) and Ben Govier (bass) have honed their unique hard rock sound across the UK - supporting Off Yer Rocka label mates The Quireboys and fellow Welsh Dragons Buffalo Summer - and stand on the brink of breaking into the big time with the brilliant Overworked and Underpaid. 'The new record is a continuation of The Texas Flood sound but it's a more mature album,' insisted Williams. 'It's a little bit different in places and it has some nice big hooks. It's made for the live arena - and that's where we intend to take it.' The ultimate aim is to be able to make music full time. But dreams don t pay the bills. The new record is a continuation of The Texas Flood sound but it's a more mature album. It's a little bit different in places and it has some nice big hooks. It's different but not vastly dissimilar! We need to look into getting back on the road and building a bit of momentum around the new album. It's a constant struggle being in a band. It's a conversation that crops up all the time: can we do it? We're always having to pull in favours to keep things going and we're fortunate that we work with some very understanding colleagues. It's hard work but if we want The Texas Flood to make its mark then it has to be done. 'It's a constant struggle being in a band. It's a conversation that crops up all the time: can we still do this? We're always having to pull in favours to keep things going and we're fortunate that we work with some very understanding colleagues. 'It's hard work but if we want The Texas Flood to make its mark then it has to be done.
