No Bass Guitars Were Used In The Making Of This Record

 

The Cusses recently released their new self titled album. Luckily i got this edition before it came out, for it had no bass guitar in it. It made me feel a bit special. Each track has a life of it’s own with a pure rock ‘n roll sound to be treasured by all of you rock ‘n rollers.

  1. The Wait Is Over
  2. Head On A Stick
  3. Blood Everywhere
  4. Hey You
  5. Goosebump

  7. Cuss
  8. Custody
  9. Don’t Give In
  10. Memorial

1. The Wait Is Over

This was an excellent choice for the first song. Not only because of the title, but because of the pure energy of the track. It starts out slow and gloomy, but then suddenly (after 37 seconds) speeds up to a roar of beautiful sounds. Symbolically, This song is like the band’s battle cry making their name known. The wait is over, the Cusses are here to kick arse.

3. Blood Everywhere

This upbeat songs conceals the not so upbeat message of the song. (picking up the pieces after a tragedy) So listen carefully. The lead vocalist, Angel has the perfect female punk rocker voice. Sweet. This song has a not so modern feel to it. i can’t place my finger on the right decade.

7. Cuss

Spontaneous dancing (or maybe even moshing) is sure to break out at the sound of this song. It’s a simple sounding song, musically. But don’t underestimate it. This is pure talent. It’s has a groovy beat, good lyrics, energetic, and thoughtfully crafted. me gusta.

This is a great first album and hopefully we will be hearing more from them. The Cusses sound are quality musicians. I could recommend them to fans of the White Stripes (they are like a less bluesy version of them), Joan Jett, and Pati Smith. But labels aren’t appropriate for them. Obviously I was satisfied with this, but Check them out Bros!

 

Holy Cuss!!

Guess what? I saw a cool band yesterday at the Jam Room Music Festival. Cusses. They’re absolutely great live. They have an energetic, punk-ish sound that’s pure rock and roll. I met their frontwoman, Angel, and she’s an awesome gal. Plus i got a free copy of their cd, that is due to be released October 30. Hehe.  They’re worth checking out. And I foresee a review on their CD.

Here’s a link to their facebook.

Jam Room Music Festival

There aren’t many music festivals in my area, so when I heard about the Jam Room Music Festival, I HAD to go. I heard saw some local bands, the Cusses, and the Hold Steady. They were fantastic. The crowds were great. (can’t himageave a good show with a dead crowd.) The festival food was great.

Oh how I love a live show.

Dear readers, are there music festivals in your town? Been to any lately? Do share.
