Album Reviews

The sons of Ma Barker finally managed to pull their asses out of the backwoods and headed for the studio to record some more songs about final judgement and redemption. Now, don’t go thinking about Bob Marley just yet… these guys bring Southern rock to the table and mix it up with big helpings of heavy metal and punkrock. Think lots of groove with squealing guitars and singalong choruses over pounding drums.

With two new guys in the band, these Alabama boys pulled out all the stops and went for an even bigger sound on their third album, which is simply titled “III”. Both of the new guys (Kelly Scott Nunn and Matt Clark) have previously played in an early incarnation of Underoath which is how vocalist Dallas Taylor got to know them. They all mesh well on album number three as you can hear on “” or “”, two kickass songs.

It is more of the same but then again, why change a winning team? Oh no wait, they did change the team. Oh well, these songs will still kick your ass while you’re yelling along!
