Bohannons in the latest Big Takeover.
the bohannons
unaka rising
(This is American Music)
Rebel rock from Tennessee, like Neil Young’s Crazy Horse as interpreted by The Drive-By Truckers in a basement punk rock club where the amps can’t be turned down any lower than 9 and everybody’s drinking PBR tallboys as if they haven’t had anything to drink in days. “Two Riders” sounds so much like early ‘90s Midwest college rock that you’d be excused if you thought you’d heard this one before and the band’s not afraid to throw in some twang (“Tim Tim”) just to properly represent where they’re from. Lest you think The Bohannons are anything but good ol’ southern boys, listen to Marty Bohannon sing, “You can have my gun/when you pry it from/my cold, dead hand” on “Built a World”. Rock n’ roll ain’t always pretty and this is proof. (www.thisisamericanmusic.com)
