For people who don’t know this band: the bio mentions a meeting of John Lee Hooker and MC5. Hailing from Auburn, Alabama, this duo (drums and guitar/vocals) spreads the message of ‘fuck punk rock and bullocks to the blues’. The album contains 6 studio tracks, 4 live registrations (2 of which are not released before), and an acoustic version of Skip James’ ”Devil Got My Woman”.

Some girls look at their best, straight out of bed, hair in a mess, and without make up.

Some people think Neil Young can’t sing, but still reaches into their soul. This can also happen with a strange lo-fi mix of blues and punk. Probably following the ‘less is more’ concept, this is a completely undressed, pure, raw in your face journey through time, music and expression. Emotion and devotion are overruling technique and established standards, all draped under a marvellous (absence of) production.
