Now, this is folk. Of course, that makes more sense if you read the previous post. This record is buzzing in the States and it is well-deserved. First thing I thought was "Beard Rock", but the members do not sport beards. Immediate comparisons to Fleet Foxes and Blitzen Trapper, maybe early MMJ for you Americana fans, but for this old guy, I hear Dexy's Midnight Runners, the Proclaimers, Hothouse Flowers, the Pogues, etc., maybe because of the British accent only slightly detectable at times in the vocals. And they really are from London, not like Colin Meloy who wants to be. Damn, gotta like a little rock n' roll banjo in the mix!
So I've heeded the complaints about the pictures I'm using for these posts. This one is much better quality, just ignore the message above it.
