A Weakness for Spirits

BY Davey JonesPublished Dec 1, 2005

It’s about time that another release from these drunken Beantown bastards came out. This time it comes via the good folks at Stumble Records. A Weakness for Spirits is straight-up and full speed ahead, street rock’n’roll with more than a little oi and reggae thrown in for good measure. These boozers have been at it for about ten years now, and it shows. The 18 catchy-as-hell, sing along ditties rarely hit the three-minute mark and seem to revolve for the most part around lost weekends and lost loves. That is with the exception of the songs about cantaloupe-sized testicles and Nazi grandmothers. A Dropkick Murphy and a Mighty Mighty Bosstone add their vocal stylings to the mix, which tells you pretty much where the band are coming from sound-wise. This one will have you raising your pints and your voices!
