Home Movies [CD]

On their Don Giovanni debut Home Movies, Rodeo Boys are upping the ante. Their music owes as much to the twang of country as it does to the fuzz of grunge, and its a winning combination. Lead single Sugar sits somewhere between Bully and SPICE, a gritty slice of feedback-drenched rock n roll that immediately makes it clear where Rodeo Boys passions liein loud, crunchy, catchy alt rock. Dog Leg plays out like a supersized take on classic rock, all roaring solos and guttural hooks, and epic closer Tomboy Radio is a proggy masterclass in dynamics. Home Movies hardly lets up all through its 40 minutes, the space folk of Hail Mary allowing a couple minutes to breathe, but it all seems to zip by. Vocalist Tiff Hannay says Rodeo Boys goal as a queer blue-collar band is to give a voice to young queer people in small towns, and what a powerful voice it is. 1. Feel the Same 2. Garbage Man 3.
