BONUS TRACKS
BY DARCIE STEVENS

There are no shows in town like the Diamond Smugglers and Dung Beatles, so the Brothers come in with less shite and more Beach Boys. Kevin and Steve McCarthy's first bit of original work in quite some time is as melodic as "Strawberry Fields" and as infectious as "Sweet Caroline." With the help of Moonlight Towers' James Stevens, Red River power pop is about to explode off the strip. Remember That Thing You Do! ? Bingo.

  • These guys ROCK

    Saw these guys last night at SXSW Nuclear Taco Night. They played nearly every song on this disc. I bought a copy very early in their set. 'nuff said.

  • Very good album...when is the next one coming?!
    author: ellie

    I bought this CD a week ago and have listened to it almost everyday since. The songs are refreshingly different with lots of energy, a real plus. I look forward to future albums from the fighting brothers and will certainly come to more live concerts! Thanks guys!!!!!!
