PUNK ROCK. LA-based artist. Okay vocals and lyrics. Guitar and percussion work is clean, well done. Wish they had a better recording quality. Significant static (CD scratched?, overs?) Pretty creative stuff. I disliked the two songs recommended by the label. Very strong personal recommendations: Tracks 2, 6.

**1. (3:27) Starts kinda slow, picks up. Harmonica. Angsty starving artist lyrics.
*****2. (5:40) Driving, 3/4, rolling rhythm. Cool harmonica. Catchy melody, at least for me. They collectively sound the best here. Kinda abrupt end.
**3. (4:37) FCC ("president is a piece of shit", also--fighting words?) Nothing special, anyway.
**4. (2:58) Starts kinda chill, picks up to a lot of energy. Very punk.
**5. (5:32) FCC ("shit", give a, lose his) Starts with oscillating sound. Medium speed. ****ed up PTSD grandfather story. Repetitive.
*****6. (5:46) Title track. Slow-ish waltz. Whoa, just realized this sounds like Mick Jagger! SOOOO Stones reminiscent.
