And the Horse They Rode In On

A live-to-tape document of Midwestern grit. Ragged guitars and funk-inflected rhythms capture a band at their most loose, honest, and restless.

It's the sound of a great bar band playing the set of their lives in a room that actually sounds good.

A high-octane blend of bar-room grit and melodic yearning that feels both urgent and lived-in.

Moments Worth Waiting For

the sudden shift from a 60s pop melody into a blistering speed-metal rhythm on the final track

the raw, unpolished vocal strain during the climax of the acoustic-driven We 3

the way the live room acoustics capture the snare snap on Gullible's Travels
