The Brakes / Big Rock LP Recycled Dirt Orange Vinyl

The Brakes 'Big Rock' LP Recycled Dirt Orange Vinyl

Nostalgia is a currency these days and some people have cut the right kind of deal for themselves. The Brakes swing into frame with some old style rock with a sound a bit  reminiscent of The Saints or Johnny Moped olden days punk when it's going steady - almost country twanged and definitely chordy. Think Paul Kelly. You could call them ballads if you wanted to. And then of course there are the actual country ballads. It's nice to hear some of the old timey sound from outside of the former-addict inner-city bar scenes flavoured country music tragedies (the kinds of people who idolize Mr Merle Haggard and such) as something about it makes a lot of sense right now and I'm sure doubly so at an afternoon front bar gig. Saddle up pump The Brakes if that sounds like your jam, cowpoke (or city slicker, as it were.)
