Lying somewhere between the emotional vulnerability of Wind In Sails/City & Colour and the gritty folk-rock of Johnny Cash (maybe?) lies Boomtown Crooks. The Los Angeles collective (vocalist Zac is Canadian, though) just released a new album in This Is A Robbery. Of particular note is the fact that they also donated a track, “Fubar”, to the Solidarity in Sound: A Compilation to Benefit the ACLU compilation. The track also appears on This Is A Robbery as the opening track to the album.
In short, Boomtown Crooks is a band that is certainly worthy of your attention. Don’t believe me? Check out This Is A Robbery below and tell us what you think.
