I am infamous locally for strong opinions expressed bluntly, even savagely. My local punk nickname is ShitEd, and I earned it. So when I heard the intro to track 2 with the guy counting off 1-2-3, 1-2-3 then I began counting. If that's 3 then the time signature is 3/8. 3/8???? Nah, it's 6/4. I have gotten into arguments with bandmates over this same thing. And when I demanded they count along I was refused. Tsk!
This is a folk-punk band out of Las Vegas, with someone I know in it. The banjo, and Karie's deep fiddle (a viola) on this both sound great. There's git, accordion and mando on here too. Think oldtimey gone edgy and often mildly ferocious.
1. Digging Holes 05:19
2. Haunted House 04:39
3. A Place We Could Call Home (Turncoat Collective) 06:07
4. All For Me Grog 04:17
Track 1 starts off slow with really pretty instrumental playing, then kicks in and rocks, great stuff.
Track 2 is a waltz that tells a story with a faint sadness to it, with the viola often moaning in sympathy.
Track 3 Is almost an anthem with group/gang vocals. A cover of a Turncoat Collective song. Great viola fiddlin'.
Track 4 they go pirate on us and cover a bawdy sea shanty that I like a lot.
Great little ep. Get it here: https://spudbugs.bandcamp.com/
