Crap, today's the third day in the row where I'm posting bands from New Jersey. I'm a bad Pennsylvanian! Seriously though, this album is more entertaining than a midget on stilts. I like how they're a punk-rock Bruce Springsteen. Who's the boss? Gaslight Anthem. Aww, yeah. . . .
"Red in the Morning"
I think the follow-up to this CD, Red-Eyed Soul, is a stronger album, but -- goddamn -- this song still gives me chills. Still not sure what it's about, as if that matters.
"Secret Service Freedom Fighting U.S.A."
I caught these guys at City Gardens (R.I.P.) in Trenton around the time they self-released this album. It was awesome! They lugged about six VCRs and TV sets onstage, each one playing a different John Hughs movie. Inbetween songs they would watch their favorite scenes. Kick ass!!!
"I Like Your Mom"
Since last week I posted old music, this week I'm going to focus on active artists.
Titus Andronicus are out of New Jersey. Their debut CD is pretty solid. Love their infatuation with distortion.
Nice to see something worthwhile come out of a crappy Shakespeare play.
