/Crossover, Punk rock, Country, Bluegrass, Folk, Vaudeville/


Comment: when this 8-track album was issued at the end of 2010, it consisted of two members only - Dan Faughnder (guitar, banjo, mandolin, vocals), and Sam Juneman (violin, vocals). Although the album/combo is already compared with Andrew Jackson Jihad, Bright Eyes, and Defiance Ohio, this issue with short-running tracks takes on a brutally amusing crossbreeding of Southern-rooted styles (country, bluegrass, vaudeville folk) and on the other side, punk rock/easycore. And the coverprint is impressive. Spectacular.
