The Tower Of Dudes get to call the beautiful city of Prague (that’s in the Czech Republic for all you nitwits out there) home and claim to be not just another accordion-laced cow-punk band. Yet they play a kind of folkified punk with a lot of Eastern European influences and yes, there’s an accordion involved.
But you’ll get to hear mandolin, banjo, melodica, glockenspiel, washboard, cello and a trumpet just as well. Musically the songs things are pretty upbeat and along with the humor they display both in their lyrics and the in-between songs banter, it makes for a pretty entertaining album. I have no idea who else to compare them to so I’m gonna have to go with a slightly less rebel-rousing version of Gogol Bordello. Which is still pretty good I guess.
Score: 6 out of 10
