Other than the venue employees and band members, you'll probably be the only person old enough to drink.

American Apparel shirts are the most comfortable ones I own. They're soft and they always fit right

That's not a surprise at all. They have openly advocated changing America's immigration policies for a while, it makes sense that this could be part of the reason. And I don't care if they're illegal as long as they pay them decently, but I'm going to guess they don't.

That's Just insane.

some of "the highest wages in the industry" also include less than minimum wage.

what is this country music bullshit? seriously that first song is so fuckin boring i mean im not asking that you reinvent the wheel but god those lyrics so fuckin dumb

baldy_shale (July 1, 2009)

When you're right, you're absolutely fucking right, D. This sucks.

callousedheart (July 4, 2009)

You must have only listened to the first song, and even so, I think the lyrics are put together well. It sounds like a man trying to get people to leave him alone and just wanting to let loose. The songs to follow only get better. I think they might have made a bad choice by starting with that song, it's not too strong.

Report

JoelSweetheart (July 1, 2009)

sorry, but this shit seems soooooo cliche.

does every country/honkytonk song have to be about women, whisky, cigarettes and blah blah blah? Seriously. The subject matter is completely contrived and devoid of any notion of authenticity.

Meh. MEH, I say.

wonton (July 1, 2009)

callousedheart (July 4, 2009)

That's funny coming from a member of the sweethearts. Talk about contrived, pop punk has never been subpoenaed for diving deep into literary prowess, and your band is no exception. This album is tight from start to finish, every song is oozing with conviction and I don't think they intend to be Walt Whitman, sounds like they are just writing what surrounds their everyday life. Country music has been shit for years and these fellas are reaching beyond their years to bring it back to when it was relevant. Listen to that song 'Curse of a Drunk' on their album, that will explain it all.

Holy crap, finally something worth its weight in bourbon, and I'm talking Booker's not that cheap shit. Nice work fellas, pay no mind to the jealousy wreaking in some of the above comments, the album is a breath of fresh air and I cannot wait to get the vinyl for after hours partying. Heard your live set is bad ass as well, hope to see it soon.
