Yeah, well, In Vermont, I'm not exposed to those bands, so I guess it's easier to have a different set of standards on the deal. Since most of the bands indegenous to the area are folk, so something that's folk is going to sound a little less unique, whereas Dropkick Murphys are going to sound more interesting in a landscape of Beach Boys throwbacks who think they're "punk."

I'm DLing the song mentioned, or trying to. Soulseek has been a cunt of late. might be a few years before I manage to DL.

If you can manage to get the Blackout album, I'd recommend at least trying it. Maybe you'll wanna gouge your ears out, but their stuff is generally better than the cover of fields of Atherny. Walk Away, The Outcast, Workers' Song (The pickford cover), Gonna be a Blackout tonight (Guthrie lyrics, most of my interest comes from that fact), etc. Most of my faves come off that album.

Their quality kinda varies.

I'm also more drawn in by electric instruments, though a lot of the droning basslines make me wanna scream electric OR acoustic (Same with a couple of the Stone Coyotes tracks, and I love 'em to pieces...)
