“Empty Bottle” could not only be a very boring drinking game, it’s also the name of the new Tumbledown album. While Mike Herrera will always be best known for his work with MxPx, he’s equally productive with his country side-project. After two EPs, two 7”, there is now already full-length number two. In just three years.
It has a shitload of songs about drinking that made my liver cringe just listening to them and while decidedly country (“Great Big World”, “Drink To Forget”), there are still plenty of punkrock influences to be found throughout the album with some rockabilly sounds. The mighty Social D is never far away in songs like opener “Places In This Town” or “Arrested In El Paso Blues” and one can hardly call that a bad thing.
If you’re into the whole country meets punkrock thing, Tumbledown is a name you most definitely will want to check out.
Score: 7 out of 10
