Johnny Cash would no doubt of approved. and so should you." - Kerrang"This quartet create a gloriously exhilarating collision of full tilt blues, swamp voodoo and hillbilly rock...intoxicating energy and intensity" - Q "They resemble (in appearance and sound) a glorious cross between the Deliverance and Grease movies, and that really does work a lot better than you'd think. The song's from the new "Believe" record are foot-tappingly brilliant" - 8/10 Metal Hammer live reviewA non stop riot of blitzkreiging barndances, meltdown polkas and black hearted blues. The devils music, straight from hell. - 5/5 The Guardian details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullmouse Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 I am so looking forward to this gig - I was all prepared to take a day off work and go down to Glasgow to see these guys before they were confirmed to play the Lemon Tree. Their gigs are events, a real lesson in full-on warped carnival showmanship. Superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might even have to miss Emmerdale, now that's a sacrifice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
