What happens when a band delegates responsibility for every aspect
of songwriting to every single member of the band for every song?
Songs can be discussed, pulled apart, thoroughly reworked, and put
back to together in up to two months before they are finished or
scrapped. It's a long process.
Driftless Pony Club knows that only too well. The band's four
composers, Craig Benzine on guitar/vocals, Matt Weber on
guitar/keyboard, Nate Bartley on drums/genius pills, and Sam Grant
on bass, each have an equal say in the song-writing process. The
result is often neatly structured, tightly performed, quirky,
catchy-as-hell rock songs drawing comparisons to Modest Mouse,
Archers of Loaf, Superchunk, and The Pixies.
Dubbed Cholera, the 2nd full-length album from Driftless Pony Club
represents a culmination of 7 years of trial and error from this
exuberant yet exact foursome. Recorded at Blam Recording in
Chicago and various locales, Cholera features 12 energetic rock
songs whose parts range from quirky, quiet, and melodic to
roaring, brash, and anthemic. Guest appearances include Angela
Mullenhour of Chicago rock group Sybris as well as members of
Chicago bands May or May Not and Mt St Helens.
