So what do you do when your wife wants a divorce and an idiot gets re-relected into the oval office. You can either sit at home and feel depressed or you can go out and see the world. Luckily for us, vocalist Tod A (ex-Cop Shoot Cop) did just that and came back with enough ideas to fill an album with Firewater’s punkrock meets gypsy and klezmer tunes.
When they started doing what they do ten years ago, people were confused but now with acts like Gogol Bordello and Beirut exploring the same path, it’s kind of the hip thing to do. Not that Tod and friends give a fuck, they just like to write solid songs. And there’s plenty of those to be found on “The Golden Hour”. With exciting and eclectic songs like “This Is My Life” and the anti-Bush tirade “Hey Clown”, it feels like a journey that you can dance to in your own living room. These guys should be a treat live as well so make sure to check them out when they’re in your town!
Score: 7 out of 10
