    Its like those cartoons in the 80s. The Ghostbusters and the REAL Ghostbusters. Also, if they are the Real Backsliders, thats a different name than THe BAcksliders.

    There's two or three bands out there with the same name, I totally agree with matildabay down there, the REAL Backsliders are from Raleigh, North Carolina. Fantastic band!

    The albums here do not match the bio. Apparently a new band called The Backsliders.
