#1827 Liquor Store - In the Garden

Stompy bar-band swagger taken back to its roots, the Hold Steady stripped of the storytelling, AC/DC stripped of the brattiness, BRMC stripped of its gloss, until you're left with a garagey kernel of Stones, rougher and simpler than even the Stones managed. The guitars roll, the kids shout, banging out songs called Keys to the Face, Vodka Beach and Titty was Loc'd. Titty was Loc'd! No frills, no flash, rock and rollers rockin' and rolling. Good enough 3.5/5
