Cow-punk lives
A minimalist roots band from the Midwest with a Left Coast art-rock attitude, The Panderers sound a bit like the Fabulous Thunderbirds meet Cake. Their debut EP, "Hotshot's Boy," has five songs "Shane" is the most interesting of the bunch. A plaintive lead vocal dripping '90s grunge and alt-rock angst plays atop a quietly comping organ and country/blues shuffle by the rhythm section. The CD opens more conventionally with a cow-punk song, "Come On," followed by the dirge-like "Dig." It's on "Shane," though, that their disparate influences are most completely combined. |
