SHORT VERSION: Awesome.

LONG(er) VERSION:

I've been meaning to check these guys out for months (washington). Every time I talk to Max about the project at Bull Moose he has something revelatory and exciting to say. But they always play, you know, regular band schedules which means I can't ever see them because my schedule sucks. Sorry, I won't complain about me any more.

Then, some shifting occurred and I had a Tuesday off. The Tuesday they were playing TWO at Port City Music Hall. I went not really knowing what to expect apart from "probably loud." And it was! But it was also really tight and incredibly engaging.

Charismatic. That's what I'm going to call it. This is the kind of music that's just got that warm feeling to it. You hear it and it literally draws you closer. At least it did for me. By the time the first, punchy strains of their opener were done I had moved from the middle of the room to the front. You want to be near this music and shake its hand. It's BillClintonCore.

There's a lot of energy here. There's a lot of passion and if you go to the FREE DOWNLOAD PAGE you'll see there's a lot of lyrics I'm still processing.

But it's great stuff.

Anyway, go check it out. Seven Children by MOUTH WASHINGTON
