Man, I really dug their first cd, but Thicket is a whole different ballgame.  On this disc, Moonshine Hangover steps onto the firld with the big boys of alt. country, takes a swing and knocks it out of the park. If you like guitar driven outlaw twang and great songs, this cd is for you.

"A shot of twang, hold the glitz... Grits-and-gravy... Southern-fried... Formed out of reverence of and proclivity for a beat-up hardwood dance floor, a Saturday night and long sets of sweaty guitar riffs and gravelly harmonies.  They're as tight as the Skoal in your jeans back pocket, forged after many nights where success is measured in broken guitar strings and the empties on the amps."

Some alt-country acts just don't get it. They patronizingly parody the genre's conventions, insert self-conscious nods to anachronistic albums and don garish, gimmicky duds. On the other hand, the beer-drinkers and hell-raisers in Moonshine Hangover take their debt to authentic outlaw country seriously. This Portland quartet's turbo-twang barn-burners scorch the stage like a flaming tractor careening through crops, slapping off any sissy ironic trucker hats within a cornfield's radius.
