Good old rawk and rall! I guess the front cover image of the bass player/vocalist holding a shotgun while showing off her pregnant belly says it all: either these guys are huge rednecks or they really really wish they were. I guess coming from San Francisco probably points to the latter. Still the music is fucking awesome, totally dominated by Travis Kenney's thunderous bellow on top of simple three-chord guitar progressions. I don't get most of the lyrics (my racial handicap) but sounds like mostly about living like white trash. Basically (and I quote this from allmusic) think of this as a blend of Motorhead, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Black Flag. All songs pretty similar. Picks: 6,2,3,11,12,8,14 *** FCCs: 5 *** 1. “go west” sample speech intro to zepplin/acdc mix of rock and roll *2. hell yeah! builds up to a thumping arena rocker *3. cowbell throughout, more country feeling, pretty upbeat 4. naughty lyrics (though I think no FCCs), faster, uptempo, more motorhead style 5. FCC “shit” sung multiple times, quite nice and bluesy otherwise **6. excellent country song cover, uptempo, upbeat, punky, great! 7. bluesy (more so at least), with some rocking outbursts *8. more upbeat, old school rock and roll 9. another country song cover, more downtempo 10. fast tempo, bill haley and the comets style *11. one more country song cover, again uptempo, good *12. again cowbells, nice guitar, “let it ride!” 13. nice guitar riffing at intro, more subdued, almost sentimental (?) *14. sounds like another cover, again upbeat, danceable, hell yeah! 15. bluesy piece, about leaving california (?) | ||
