Search - Brandos :: Gunfire at Midnight

Roaring blast of "Irish-tinged" southern rock

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Few bands generate the level of driving, almost brutal urgency of the Brandos - hits brains and guts in equal parts, without being a "head-banger outfit. Not just due to sheer volume: memorable and characteristic vocals, goose-bump lyrics, instrumental vituosity...a mix of Creedence Clearwater, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Dubliners...and something else. Excellent live."

Marlon should be proud! This band has character.

"This is my 3rd Journey into the land of the Brandos and I Still find myself craving for more. No filler here, just meat and potatoes. Dave Kincaid and Carl Funk are a great song writing team (Allies if you please). They continue to address social concerns and know what lies in the hearts and minds of mankind. I won't critique every song they are all well crafted. Highlights for me WE ARE NO MAN, THE SOLUTION, ANNA LEE..... This album has a little lighter edge than Honor Among Thieves but still continues to rock and energize the old ticker. Do yourself a favor and listen to these guys, they enjoy what they are doing and I belive you will too!"

Eight great tracks, 3 good ones

"This album is loaded with great music. My personal favorites are "Fortunes of War", "Riding the Red Eye" and "The Keeper" "Fortunes of War" especially, it really strikes a nerve.But can someone please tell me what "The Keeper" means or refers to? My friends and I all have different ideas."
