I Can Like Any Son of a bitch In The House (hereforth known simply as Sonofabitch) is a Portland Oregon based band led by Mike Damron. He took the title of his band from the the biography of boxer John L. Sullivan, and he also leads the album off with a track called 'John L. Sullivan'. Sonofabitch is a noisy affair that takes cues from rock-a-billy as well as country, while keeping one foot in the blues. Mike's vocals are very gruff and the lyrics are rough around the edges. Think Keith Richards and you sort of have the voice down, and if Keith sang a more folky style then he would be just like Mike. They could also be compared to Social Distortion but not as much punk. There are some fairly mellow tracks on the album like the title track and "Swing Man Swing" and they are along the lines of a Steve Earle tune. Creepy Little Noises is actually a very impressive debut album that should appeal to folk, blues, rock-a-billy and country crowds alike.

Mike D is a songwriter of major caliber.This is folk music w/howling/soulful melodies, heavily strummed acoustic guitars,a wailing harmonica and more heart and soul than you can shake a stick at. Plus they got SONGS man!!! This is dark stuff from a top notch band and a songwriter that rivals that of Richard Buckner and damn close to Mr. Jay Farrar. And thats high praise indeed.

I read all the other reviews before i decided to write mine, and obviously i dont have to tell you about Mike D's voice or what the music sounds like, but I will tell you this, I can lick any sonofabitch in the house is my favorite band for several reasons. Not only are they the nicest and most cool guys you will ever meet, but they always put all they've got in to their music. That is the best part of listening to this cd, or any of their 3 cd's, the music is about something, it makes you think, it makes you feel. Not only do I recommend that you check out I can lick any sonofabitch in the house's cd's, but if you are ever able to catch one of their live shows, you will not regret it. They will blow your mind.
