I've been meaning to get a little more into alt-country, so let's see what these guys have to offer. Well the first track has me pumped right away, great power and energy in it, and it continues in this vein, with the odd ballad thrown in. Great stuff all round. The only real alt-country bands I've heard up to now are Houndtooth and Strawfoot (sounds like a seventies TV cop duo, huh?) so if there's more like this I'm going to be seeking it out, be sure. A really fun band and I bet they're a riot live.
