WOOD CHICKENS - Countrycide LP (colour vinyl)
Limited edition green colour vinyl.
Highly recommended.
Nicely priced. One copy only.
"Despite what you might think, I’m a pretty harsh critic of all punk things tainted with country or folk music. “Insert genre here” –a–billy and cow punk are at the bottom of my list of tolerable styles, and I have an incredibly long list of sh!t I find tolerable. That being said, this country influenced punk band is pretty tight. Sure, there are a couple throwaways, and they wear cowboy hats (which is like 2½ strikes!!), but this comes off more like something you’d find on Lumpy Recorrds, or that Jimmy Youtube channel, and a lot less like ELMER (which ruled), or DASH RIP ROCK, or any other thing that usually comes to mind when you hear a band labeled as cowpunk. Great sloppy punk with tasteful Southern-ish reverbed solos, and a few cool moments of trippy, MEAT PUPPETS style groovy fingerpicking made this a pleasant fucking surprise practically the whole way through. It seems like nobody told these Wisconsin turkeys that cowpunk was a novelty, and I’m glad." - DZ
