Bio / Background
Pigeon Records is pleased to announce the release of Babbleluck, the latest CD from Portland, Maine artists Bullyclub. Inspired by the hit- or-miss nature of communication, Babbleluck features nine new “crunch and croon” originals and one classic cover, a reverent take on the Replacement’s “Can’t Hardly Wait.” Bullyclub’s latest is a fine example of a veteran bands’ spit and polish song-craft, a mature yet restless collection of not quite adult oriented music.
“Hard soft rock” is how primary songwriter Doug Cowan describes the result. “A little alienation, a little arthritis, and a little comfort found in companionship as we try to grow up. Sometimes the comfort part gets neglected in the songs, but there are some smiles in there somewhere.” Evidence of this is found in “Twice on Sunday” and “Down Low”, songs where couples keep bumping into each other on their way to domestic bliss against the backdrop of Mark McDonough’s sharp guitar lines.
↓ more ↓Opening track “Assisted Living” is an ode to self-pity, an amped-up plea for love and attention. And the acoustic rumble of “Rocket,” the CDs first single included on WCLZ’s Greetings from Area Code 207 VI, confesses the embarrassment of middle-aged rage accompanied by the measured rhythm of John Nunan’s drums, Josh Denkmire’s bass lines and Cowan’s plaintive melody.
Babbleluck shows some mid-tempo muscle in the jagged guitar cut “Shinola,” a wish for somebody else’s just desserts, and the blistering closer “Heavier than Metal,” a story of teenagers asked to grow up too soon. Finally, the short story form of country music gets its chance in the oh-so-sorrowful betrayal in the song “Paper Cuts”. For more information about the band, a calendar of upcoming shows and a MP3 sample of the song “Rocket”, currently on the play list of radio station WCLZ, visit the band’s website at www.bullyclub.net.
