holy shit that was horrendous. i am speaking about the bug that crawled into me and pushed everything that resided in my body out in a not so nice manner. i hope none of you are on the receiving end this little number, and if you do i wish you well.
anyway, two records that i have failed to talk about as of late is the broken family band’s jesus songs and balls. before ever hearing em, i read somewhere that they were the “best country band on the other side of the atlantic,” which had got me kinda excited. the reality is is that i think they are pretty great and they dont really play country music in the strictest of sense. sure there are countrified numbers, especially those found on jesus songs but they wouldnt be your grandfathers idea of country music. considering lead family member steven adams kinda sounds like the dude from the violent femmes, whose name escapes me at the moment. balls relies on rural america as a backdrop for most of the songs but they added a touch of dirty punk and early 90’s southern california guitar work which of course cuts against that “country” grain.
