Dig this review of the new album(thanks Austin Daze!):

“(The Sideshow Tragedy) have created an album full of gutsy glory with energy to boot. Standouts
include a slow almost-ballad “Cards,” deeply rooted in the sorrow of
lost love, and “Ain’t No Woman,” is a song possessed with attitude and rock
n’ roll. It pieces an electrifying barrage of guitar together with husky
vocals and twists and turns the listener around with a force that
throttles.”

Also, don’t forget to come out to the City Tavern this Saturday June 19th and pick up a copy for yourself–show starts at 10, see you there!
