Boo Clap Records/Thirty Tigers
Producer: Hal Jon Vorpahl
After a five year hiatus this Austin, Texas band returns with a fresh spin on gritty Americana-flavored rock. Fronted by the powerful and expressive vocals of Kevin Galloway, they’re not ones to follow tried and true. There is a unity here that’s familiar but stands alone. Exciting and experimental production blends with soulful string orchestrations. Everything from Jimmy Webb and Burt Bacharach-like song craft to CCR-tinged social commentary is fair game. – Eric Harabadian
