Political-minded rock 'n' roll with a country appeal, I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In the House taking on George W. Bush, the government, gun-toting NRA president Charlton Heston, and rock star Courtney Taylor (of the Dandy Warhols).
Editorial review
Drunk-tank refugees I Can Lick Any Son of a Bitch in the House crash through a fistful of barroom stomps on their second album, Put Here to Bleed. Now fleshed out into a full band, Mike Damron's former one-man project lurches and occasionally stumbles along the path blazed by the Exile-era Stones and currently inhabited by a number of sweaty-toothed blues-rock revivalists. Although Damron's breathy drawl is passionate, it tends to be a little one-note and gets to be repetitive near the end of the record, but the sheer fire and brimstone that smolders from the band is enough to keep the tinder lit. The album's high point comes in the mocking "Ballad of Courtney Taylor," where the band takes the Dandy Warhols' lead singer to task for acting like a rock star. This foul-mouthed, tongue-in-cheek carnival barking is what makes ICLASOBITH entertaining -- they are certainly not revolutionizing the genre, but they may be having more fun with it than anybody else ever has. ~ Zac Johnson, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Taking the bull by the horn, I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In the House's sophomore full-length, "Put Here To Bleed", pulls no punches when discussing the current state of affairs in the U.S. Speaking out against George W. Bush ("Twerp", "American Fuck Machine"), gun-totin' NRA President Charlton Heston ("Dear Mr. Heston"), and the American government at large ("Things That Fail"). "Put Here To Bleed" is a political live wire, the much-needed protest record for those that want to speak out against Bush's war.
With a name like I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In the House, the band puts it all on the line - and they deliver. When front man Mike Damron sings, he lets it all out. In "Dear Mr. Heston" Damron relives the tragedy of his youngest brother accidentally getting shot by another brother in the kitchen of their Las Vegas home.
↓ more ↓"Josh said I know where mama keeps the gun/ she won't even know that it's gone/ I took my class and I got my license/ now my little brother will never know the love of a girl/ and he'll never drink a cold one/ and he'll never see another sunrise/ and he'll never damn sure, damn sure fire that gun," Damron sings with chilling conviction.
The song soon erupts back into the chorus: "Dear Mr. Heston, if you ever saw a 12-year-old boy's brain splattered on a kitchen wall, well you'd hang your head in shame, you rifle totin' whore. Cold-blooded, old-blooded, sick-ass man".
Then in "Things That Fail" Damron's anti-war sentiments strike a chord, making you weep as he speaks for us all: "Dubya Dubya three is a man on a mission, he's got a war to sell, these are things that fail".
The Dandy Warhols' Courtney Taylor soon gets his ego put in check on "The Ballad of Courtney Taylor": "All you pretty women, best do what I say. If I see one green M&M, there is gonna be hell to pay. What's that shit, salami? On my deli try! I'm gonna leak it to the Willamette Week that I'm bi-sexual or gay, 'cause I'm a rockstar," snarls Damron, mocking the holier-than-thou attitude possessed by Taylor and other like-minded rock stars.
"Put Here To Bleed" is an intense, ass-kicking ride through I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In the House's punk-minded, alt-country, gritty rock 'n' roll vision.
