notes

The third release from the Buttless Chaps, Death Scenes I II III is a country-prog influenced album with heartfelt odes to the new wave era. On its Canadian release the album was supported by a national tour, charting at #9 on the nationwide campus charts and receiving positive press throughout the country. At the end of 2001 the band was a critic's pick for concert of the year in Exclaim! Magazine.


"...This is a record which just demands that you persevere, as you know it's gonna take you somewhere interesting before sundown...If you like your Americana challenging and a little demanding, then you could have a good time with this record, especially if you're prepared to put time into getting to know its twists and deviations, which will largely bring pleasurable surprise." - Americana UK

"Like their previous album, the equally brilliant Tumblewire, The Buttless Chaps madly embrace synthpop and rockabilly on Death Scenes, coming across like the Clash if Joe Strummer decided that Hank Williams was the way to go instead of Lee Perry...So be warned - your favourite song may change hourly...If Canada is going to have a group for all people, for all occasions, The Buttless Chaps handily deserve that mantle." - Vue Weekly, Edmonton

"Death Scenes I II III is a genre-bending multi-instrumental disc, one that would look quite fine wedged between your copies of Deserters Songs and Power, Corruption & Lies. No, Really." - Eye weekly, Toronto
"Death Scenes is a very intriguing piece of work that borrows from both The Smiths and Hank Williams...If Spike Jonze were to make a western, he'd have to look no farther than The Buttless Chaps to create the score." - Chart Magazine, Canada
