Country-Punk? Is there such a thing? Well, if you're lucky enough to be in Manchester these days there is...they're lowlife scumfucks, whiskey drinking bastard sons of the Dolls/County/Cash/Ness and every other bad motherfucker in the name of rock n roll.

Medicine Stu heads up the band's alcohol-stained sound, with a lyric line similar to the Pogue-meister himself, Magowan, with a hint of Van Morrison and a delivery of a young Bobby Dylan. The songs kick your ass from the word 'Go' and don't really let up until the finale...Don't get me wrong, it's not all break-neck paced and furious, it has it's gentler, more melodic and even 'balladic' moments, but the delivery and message never falters....

Check 'em out now, check 'em out whilst they're still alive!
