HistoryCropduster was a four-piece alternative rock band from Hoboken, New Jersey. The name is derived from John Steinbeck's novel The Grapes of Wrath. They began playing live shows in North Jersey in the early 90's, and released their debut self-titled album Cropduster in 1998. They achieved national recognition with their second album, entitled Drunk Uncle, which was released in 2001 by We Put Out Records.{{sfn|Patch Staff|2012}} Comparing it to their first album, Allmusic reviewer Robert Hicks notes that Drunk Uncle "segue[s] from crunchy power pop and twangy country rock to distorted guitar sound effects and distinctive goofball eccentricity," later adding that "fans of the Rolling Stones, the Who, Ween, the Velvet Underground, Pavement, and the Flaming Lips [have] swarmed to Cropduster."{{sfn|Hicks|2001}} Kristy Martin for Seattle Weekly describes the Drunk Uncle as "an album that's goofy in all the right places, [it] shows its country roots with an effortlessness that's sunny and engaging."{{sfn|Martin|2006}} For the end of his review in CMJ Dylan Siegler closes with "Cropduster doesn't sound like a bunch of wannabe mainstream alternative rockers–they sound like the real thing."{{sfn|Seigler|2001}} In 2007 Cropduster signed with Mint 400 Records, and reissued both of their albums, and in 2011 they celebrated the 10th anniversary of Drunk Uncle with a performance at Maxwell's Tavern in Hoboken.{{sfn|Testa|2011}} Members
