new alliance records. nar-015 / 10 tracks / 1984

Feat. Annette Zilinskas (ex-Bangles)

Who said that country music has to be boring? This kind of C&W certainly isn’t; BOTS speed up the original sound by 500% and then add some punk guitars, too. Still, this is not a parody, or just “country punk”, you can tell they really like the music and just play it their way. Furious music played at light speed. [8]

Wer sagt, daß Countrymusik langweilig sein muss? Diese Variante lasse ich mir jedenfalls gerne gefallen. BOS blasen den antiquierten Sound erstmal mit 200 Stundenkilometern vom Altersstaub frei und legen noch etwas Punkgitarre drüber. Schneller, virtuos gespielter Cowcore, ohne in reine Parodie und Nachspielerei auszuarten; die Band hat das Countryfeeling schon drauf. Tolle Platte.

Tracks: blood on the saddle / (i wish i was a) single girl (again) / car mechanic’s blues / it hurts me (a lot more than it hurts you) / banks of the ohio // do you wanna dance / freight train / landlord / ghost on my heart / i’ve never been married
