Brooklyn, NY shanty heroes O'Death are proud to announced their new National Fall tour dates. Their live show that is quite simply unforgettable and sure to bring out the agro-primal oompah-pah spirit in you.
Their third LP, 'Broken Hymns, Limbs and Skin', (out October 28th, 2008) feels like a giddy junkyard hoedown, from the panicked fiddle screeches of opener "Low Tide" to the celebratory gallop of closer "Lean-To". At times it sounds morose or contemplative, but underneath the melancholy is a gospel fervor—bashed from paint buckets, banjos, guitars and anything else in kicking distance—that defines their sound.
The quintet, which contains vocalist/guitarist Greg Jamie, vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Gabe Darling, fiddle player Bob Pycior, bassist Newman and drummer David Rogers-Berry, has evolved the possessed americana-meets-gypsy-punk of recent years into a more urgent, unrelenting celebration of life, death and everything in between.
"The result is a polygamous marriage of the Violent Femmes on meth, Gogol Bordello on fatback and the bastard lovechild of a Charlie Daniels Band-Japonize Elephants-Metallica three-way. And while polygamy might be illegal in most states, this marriage works." -- New York Press
