Quick Hitters:: Bottle Up & Go
Lately it’s been a bit soft here on the hill; lots of pop and indie rock and very little dirty blues. Well, today, in the wake of our successful showcase last night – honestly, The Got To Get Got absolutely killed it – I am feeling good and think it’s time to turn up the jams loud.
I know artists work on their own schedule, but it’s about god damn time that the boys from Bottle Up & Go got back in the studio and recorded some new tracks. I absolutely loved their debut EP – review - so naturally I was stoked to hear they were recording again, but finding out they added a horn player to the mix and spent the last year or so just playing and tightening the screws got me excited.
The LP – which is just getting pressed now – is one I’ve been waiting for impatiently, and heaping with expectations. Thankfully, the lead single, Until the Day I Die shows that Keenan and Fareed still want to burn down the stage with their take on garage rawking, punky blues and on first pass, I'm liking the horn work, as it really thickens up the sludge. If you can’t get excited for this one, I’m not sure what else you want.
