:: Release Notes:
::
:: Hayshaker öDirtkick EPö (Independent, 2007)
::
:: Uno, dos, tres, quatros.
::
:: From Waycross, Georgia - Hayshaker infuse rock with country
:: and indie apparently. Well enough of the geography lesson.
:: Let's get down to business.
::
:: The opener æDirtkickÆ launches this EP using loads of guitar
:: and then a riff that comes close to Ram JamÆs æBlack BettyÆ.
:: WeÆre in for a loud and proud ride I thought to myself. ôWhoa
:: Black Betty (Bam A Lam)ö. Meaty guitar and in ya face lyrics.
:: æIn the SnowÆ continues in a similar vein but with less of a
:: rush and a touch more melody and an infectious vibe; and
:: whatÆs with the swirly stuff lurking in the ether? Gives all
:: the surround sound speakers a work out.
::
:: This cd contains seven tracks, none of which can be accused
:: of lurking ominously in the background. Ranging from rock
:: æDirtkickÆ and æIn The SnowÆ to a more mellower country
:: influenced feel on æScrapworkÆ and the chugging æLaurieÆs
:: SongÆ with the ample pedal steel throughout and also
:: incorporating influences from other times and places, such as
:: Mexico in the 50Æs.
::
:: But there is a nice sense of familiarity about a lot of this.
:: æScrapworkÆ for example gets you humming The BandÆs æWheels
:: on FireÆ, whereas æEl CaminoÆ reminds the listener of the
:: scene in TarantinoÆs æPulp FictionÆ where he uses æMisirlouÆ
:: by Dick Dale & His Deftones whilst Vincent and Mia are at
:: JackRabbit SlimÆs restaurant flirting and dancing. Uno, dos,
:: tres, quatros indeed.
::
:: æBlack HolidayÆ brings an acoustic feel to the proceedings û
:: well at least at first, it also rocks. And it fits in well.
:: Gives the band the opportunity to display their more
:: sensitive side and show off their musicianship and æMexico
:: CityÆ outlines a trip that didnÆt turn out quite as they
:: wouldÆve hoped. Or maybe it did.
::
:: All in all this is a very accomplished and infectious EP and
:: in American bar-room parlance these guys RAWK!! Albeit
:: Americana style. Check out the videos and the sounds on their
:: website. Then purchase their EP û it only costs $5. You know
:: it makes sense, especially as Americana UK rate it. What
:: better recommendation do you need?
