Sleazy…nasty…seventies rock ‘n roll. If that’s your bag (and why wouldn’t it be) add Les Blanks to your radar, as they are just that — only they exist in the here and now of the 21st century. Easy touchstones for the band’s live sound would be a little CCR crossed with the soul of early Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Shoot The Horse is available on vinyl or downloadable, digitally, for free via their website.

I’ve been digging this record since they played with Le Switch at the CD release record, very good record with a lot of twang.
