Naked Prey

**Naked Prey** is a gritty rock band hailing from Tucson, Arizona, known for blending punk energy with bluesy desert-rock vibes. Formed in the late 1980s, the band built a reputation for raw, high-octane live shows (captured in releases like *Live in Tucson*) and lyrics steeped in Southwestern storytelling. Fronted by vocalist/guitarist Miles Olsen, their sound—a mix of garage-rock swagger and twangy Americana—has earned them a cult following, particularly in the Southwest and parts of Europe. Recent albums like *Kill the Messenger* and *Under the Blue Marlin* showcase their knack for gritty, no-frills rock ‘n’ roll, while tracks from *40 Miles from Nowhere* and *Jumbo’s Shinebox* keep their DIY spirit alive. Still kicking after decades, Naked Prey remains a testament to unpolished, sweat-soaked authenticity.
