  1. Add It Up
  2. Gone Daddy Gone

Label: Rough Trade Publishing

Description:

Legendary folk punk with vibrant, dynamic riffs and choruses.

Add It Up is a stunning compilation from the Grandfathers of folk-punk, who have induced thousands of dashes to the dancefloor at indie discos over the last twenty years, and whose brand of American roots minimalism still sounds fresh as a daisy. After the hugely successful Foster’s campaign featuring Blister In The Sun, check out a couple more nuggets from their superb back catalogue.

Gone Daddy Gone is a desperately yearning anthem cleverly dressed in catchy, kitsch xylophone melodies; a real pop masterpiece. Add It Up is a torrent of fuzz rock guitar and bass hooks that make you want to air guitar on a trampoline all the way back to Milwaukee - now bounce!
