At first listen, this track reminded me of The Refreshments' Banditos. But after hearing it again, and really taking pause to catch the intent and meaning behind the song, I haven't thought much of the ersthwile King of the Hill theme guys. Nowadays, if I'm thinking border rock, this song comes to mind. Complex, intense, and earnest, this song manages to convey one of the most illusive concepts known to humankind: Manly emotion.

The story of brothers who have taken different paths in life, there's reconcilliation, disappointment, near-shame, and redemption, all wraped into less than 4 minutes. Hey, for added complexity, whydoncha throw in a parent on their death bed? Check and double-check!

But don't let the emotional heft take you away from giving this a spin. The clean guitar, the loose viola, and driving percussion will bring surprises from the first beat till the last. Don't be afraid. Dig in.

(In an aside: I like how the name of the band could be swapped around, and, like, instantly, they could become a Rap group!)

All assail!
