About Me |
|
"You've gotta love these guys... they are lovers of the nitty gritty, real stuff country: the Johnny Cash, the Merle Haggard, with a hefty dose of Ramones... and they're very, very funny, in the way The Bottle Rockets have always been. This is a real fun record!" -Jim DeRogatis, Sound Opinions, WXRT-FM Chicago "Long before 'alt-country' became a widely accepted term, ther was a genre called cow-punk... The Blind Robins capture the spirit of cow-punk completely, with a perfect combination of whiskey-drinking honky-tonk odes and punk attitude. "That Goddamn Herbert Hoover", the leadoff track on The Origin of the Wasteland, perfectly encapsulates The Blind Robins, as drunks and dustbowl politics collide at 240bpm" -The Onion Our first CD, The Origin of the Wasteland, can be purchased through Amazon.com . as well as CD Baby |
