Suburban Home Records has decided to make Drag The River’s live album from 2005 “Live At The Starlight” free for download on their site. This album is a great great album, and a great intro to this fine band if you are unfamiliar. These guys all hail from punk rock backgrounds, with singer/guitarist Chad Price formerly fronting punk legends All, singer/guitarist Jon Snodgrass and drummer Paul Rucker from Armchair Martian, and bassist JJ Nobody from The Nobodys. But don’t think that means they are a punk band, they are not. Not anymore than Whiskeytown was anyway (’cause punk rock is too hard to sing…get it…).
This album doesn’t sound like a live album at all…..only when the banter and crowd come in will you realize it was recorded live. Sounds like a studio album that is.
Fans of Lucero, and Two Cow Garage, will especially like this, but I’m willing to bet these guys can cut a wide swath in their fan base, with Uncle Tupelo, (early) Old 97’s, DBT, and Bottle Rockets fans enjoying them as well.
Hell just download it. You can even listen on the site prior to downloading if you want to make sure it’s something you want to hear (it is)
