Puss ’n’ Boots

Crash Test Dummies

Gritty baritone vocals meet mid-tempo blues-rock swagger. A cynical, groove-heavy exploration of vice and vanity recorded with a raw, live-band energy.

It's like a bluesy, late-night bar session with the deepest voice in 90s rock singing about his vices.

A weary but grooving exploration of vice and the morning after.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The gritty, distorted guitar riff that opens 'Flying Feeling' signaling a shift away from their folk roots.

Brad Roberts' voice dropping into a near-growl during the repetitive, hypnotic outro of 'It'll Never Leave You Alone'.

The surprising upbeat pop-rock bounce of 'Everything Is Better With Me' contrasting with its self-centered lyrics.
