You just know that these songs would make for one hell of a great night out imagine happening upon some sleazy smokey bar and this is blasting out from the stage &#8211; me I&#8217;d be ecstatic and you just know that the louder you get your\u00a0speakers the better this is going to sound.\u00a0 the songs are about everyday life birds, booze with a cheeky wink and a smile.\u00a0 the songs never go too fast nor do they\u00a0 venture into genres or territories they don&#8217;t know this is a close relative to Plains day job with The Boys and not a million miles from The Amigos or the Crybabys and to end it all they take a seat and grab those acoustic guitars for a more gentle exit and I doubt they give a flying whatsit what any of us think but for what its worth I love it and highly recommend you grab yourself a copy before they&#8217;re all gone and then you&#8217;ll give a flying whatsit.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1542281607020_6202\"><span id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1542281607020_6218\"><a id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1542281607020_6217\" href=\"http:\/\/www.action-recordz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" shape=\"rect\">Buy Here<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1542281607020_6106\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1542281607020_6199\">Author:Dom Daley.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;And The Beetle Trumpets&#8230;&#8221;.
