The vocalist Shawn has the best voice ever up there with the greats like Paul Bearer Sheer Terror, Anthony Comunale Killing Time/Raw Deal, a voice that reverberates with life's experience and really speaks to some real men who have worked to hard for to little, have fought, drank made bad decisions, and good, and you just can't make music like this at a naive 18. Some hardcore rock and roll with mean guitars, haunting round bass, and some stomp parts, timed patiently, churning out for real men who enjoy their time in their local and don't mind throwing down time and again. These guys could write lyrics for Merle Haggard. Anchor's Down is my favorite and I swear you want to drink, fight, and get some traditional sleeves done when you listen to Family Tradition. There is something very real and honest here though some may find some aspectsand production a little humorous, its very real you will all find. The music seems to burn, nobody was trying to make a hardcore record here and only confidence and the love of the music would allow you to let it become and rock. The sample about the guy talking about positive love songs for women and "I drank my wife away" and not giving a fuck about other people is tight and takes me back to SOIA Injustice System, when the guys says "I got a badge what do you got?" I also love that these guys appreciate Scissorfight, maybe its all the old man in me, but I don't think so on this one kids. This is the music that I want on in my bar everytime I walk in. Real life shit.
My apologies to Shit Out Of Luck, as you gave this old angry guy some theme music and I intended to put this up 3 months ago I feel so strongly about it. I am in Milwaukee a lot and/or when you guys are down here in Chicago, I would love to do a video interview of us having a few as I enjoy the suds too........................and I am buying.
