With “We’re An American Band” the Dead Daisies wanted to not only celebrate Independence Day but Freedom around the world.

Back in the USA we live with the abundance of life and freedom unequalled anywhere else and that’s a fact!”

To that end, the band is proud to announce the release of an American Classic “We’re An American Band” in celebration of Independence Day and all it stands for.

About Grand Funk Railroad and “We’re An American Band”:
Grand Funk Railroad, sometimes shortened as Grand Funk, is an American rock band popular during the 1970s, when they toured extensively and played to packed arenas worldwide. David Fricke of Rolling Stone magazine once said, “You cannot talk about rock in the 1970s without talking about Grand Funk Railroad!” Known for their crowd-pleasing arena rock style, the band was well-regarded by audiences despite a relative lack of critical acclaim. The band’s name is a play on words of the Grand Trunk Western Railroad, a line that ran through the band’s home town of Flint, Michigan.
