Former Cell Mates is a relatively new band but its members have previously already spent time in Leatherface, The Golden Virgins, The Coyote Men and The Mercury League. They recorded “Who’s Dead And What’s To Pay” themselves while drunk and it sounds as if they bought their equipment with whatever cash they had left after buying all the beer they needed. Or lager as they would call it.
Miraculously though, the result is an album that sounds raw and gritty yet doesn’t have a single bad song on it. Think of a more garag-y version of Hot Water Music with some of Lucero’s country mixed in and you’ve got a pretty good idea of what to expect of Former Cell Mates.
Score: 7 out of 10
