For those of you who like your rock 'n' roll honest, American and twanged, obligate yourself to going to the CD release party for Mike Dunn & the Kings of New England at BackBooth tonight. They totally hooked me with their recent FMF showcase and the EP is rock-solid. Seriously, the opening song "Paper Candy" is in sickeningly heavy rotation on my player. Their sound is remarkably fleshed-out and fully-formed. Soon to be a major player in the very promising local alt-country scene.
And it sure don't hurt that the rest of the bill smolders with hot-blooded acts like Gasoline Heart and the Country Slashers.
