Casket Lottery

Likely the most prolific and proficient band to come out of the Midwest since Shiner, Kansas City's the Casket Lottery have always been the power trio with a difference — being that they pack such a colossal wallop, they sound more like a five-piece band. This collection of 20 outtakes, covers and EP tracks is stuff that hasn't made it onto one of the three brilliant full-lengths they've released in just five years together. It's a testament that they not only have this many rejects, but that they are all album-worthy. Some bands have trouble filling two albums in five years, these guys could have filled five and they would all have been good.
