When it Begins & Ends at the Bottle

by Below Danjaxed Brunk

Drunk folk punk band out of The (San Fernando) Valley. Core of the band is a sister and brother, plus their friend on washboard. In addition they borrowed the fiddle player from my band for this and that came out awesome. The sound is more gypsy folk with a strong punk vibe. The 6 string banjo in this when strummed is very effective at leaving a gritted teeth punk feeling.

Track 1 has some good Greek chorus happening with statement and mass response; Nat singing. A story of drunken sexual misbehavior and regret. Track 2 has a lot of self loathing too, which I'm not into at all but is very popular these days, Ryan singing. (I got into punk when it was more about "fuck you!" than "I am fucked".) Track 3, uh the tune is 'borrowed', ha ha, I won't say from where, naughty, naughty! Kyle's sick, so harsh vocals here. Track 4 is back to Nat. This is nostalgia and yearning for Mexico, where Nat and Ryan have roots. Strong song. Nat is an excellent lyricist. The title of track 5 is good advice. Wow the lyrics are hair raising. Nat can flat out write. Track 6 says it's a cover and I am going nuts trying to figure out from where. It's perfect for the band, strong self loathing and redemption via a woman's love. Track 7 is more self confession and dissatisfaction with self, and is quite charming with its back and forth between siblings and its refrain of I'm full of shit. Track 8 is supershort, a ditty about a penis looking for a vag -- is that Kyle singing?
