Dan Abbott and Corbett Redford aka Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children MacNuggits first started writing songs about death, animals, poop, girls and whitey in 1996. They’ve been tearing it up with their psychedelic/punky folkpop ever since, only taking a breather to start a label and organize Geekfest. “F” is the band’s first album in 10 years and it’s a good one.
Basically it’s social commentary in a funny jacket. But sometimes it really is just about farting. All this is wrapped up in catchy melodies and acoustic guitars and makes for good songs like “Sweet Shit Of Christ”, “Sandwiches & Ammunition” and “Time Is Crawling”.
There aren’t too many acts out there that manage to combine a sense of humor and biting social commentary with solid songwriting, but Bobby Joe Ebola shows that it is indeed possible. More power to them!
Score: 7 out of 10
