Beaten Awake - Thunder$troke

Review by Robert Cooke

It’s difficult to avoid cringing when a record opens with a wail of “Can you dig it?!” that would cause Sebastian Bach to nod with»

Buy now from:

second album from the highly acclaimed band on fat possum records. the debut album, 'let's get simplified', was released on the black keys' label eagle audio, and the bands toured extensively together. musically, beaten awake features two distinct vocalists and songwriters. the songs of joel mcadams evoke the slacker rock of stephen malkmus or lou barlow, while jon finley sings his country fried rock songs as if he was raised on whiskey and winstons.
