i have been a huge fan of domino records for quite a while now.? mainly because they used to release a lot of cool pavement ep’s.? plus they just re-released the classic sebadoh III record, which i wrote about a week or so ago.? so in my eyes, domino are good people. anyway, the archie bronson outfit was “discovered” by domino owner laurence bell at one of his local hang outs over across the pond.? now, i dont claim to know much about the british music scene, but apparently these lads are way out of step with such scene.? be that as it may, they definitely have an american influenced sound, at least to these ears.? they remind me of the hold steady meets tom waits meets the wilderness. thats the best i can come up with after hearing only this track.? they recorded their debut in nashville with jacquire king who has worked with mr waits and modest mouse.

They’re a bit like Tapes ‘n’ Tapes in my eyes…though a bit less wacky and a bit more simple, basic rock’n'roll…I got the Dead Funny 45 and the album recently…good stuff!
hmmm. not a huge tapes n tapes fan, but i agree that it seems like simple and basic rock n roll. btw, great site benny!
tis not bad but i need to hear other songs. i could see myself getting annoyed w/ this song
Yes, but isn’t that a mark of a good single sometimes? The annoyance factor?
Hmm.. I like the guitar work in the song, but the vocal isn’t doing much for me. Maybe it’s too forward in the mix? The yelping was kinda funny though. Reminded me of David Byrne.
