The most underappreciated band of our time releases yet anot

"With bluesy rock beats and genuine lyrics, The Wages should be the top of all the charts! The album tackles issues that are felt in the heartland: living on a fixed income, the crystal meth problem in small communities, rampant unemployment, and the unfair market prices many farmers face. But it is still hopeful, it is still uplifting, and it still comes off optimistic.
"Born Bred Corn Fed" will make anyone born or raised in rural Indiana either swell with love for the lifestyle they live or hurt with homesick for what they've left. "Clap Your Hands" is a celebration of just being different - and the video that accompanies is one of the most joyful, exciting music videos to date. "Miss Sara" would make the biggest tough guy in the room wonder who is cutting onions, and "Everything's Raising" should be the anthem for our shrinking middle class.
With Breezy on the washboard, Cuz Aaron on the drums, and Rev on gass (guitar + bass), harmonica, and vocals, Big Damn Band creates big music: Music that's larger than life, rich, and big in everyway you can imagine!"
