notes

Come on already, why isn't this band huge! They are badasses, merciless beasts, rock-n-roll kings, hip-grindin', floor-stompin', earth-shakin', bootie-quakin' studs! And somehow, even with all of that, you'd still be all right bringing them home to meet your parents.

With the release of their third full-length album, Stewboss have proven yet again why they are the band to beat in the world of straight-up American rock-n-roll. With songs like 'Your Street', 'Tell The Preacher' and 'Union Station', Stewboss conjure up the early days of Tom Petty, The Replacements and The Jayhawks. When music could be played fast and loose without losing any of its lyrical relevance. The songs on this record are urgent, desperate even, they gnash their teeth at you, spit out the speakers, and dare you to turn the volume up to levels once reserved only for Thrash Metal and Skate Punk. Prepare to be knocked on your ass and walk away humming the chorus.

This album comes after a two-year hiatus from the band. Clearly they came back at it with a vengeance, the songs are relentless in their sound and fury. The lyrics are riveting in songs like 'Joy' and 'Distant Angel' and the record is overflowing with characters that come battling back from the edge of existence to set the record straight. It's the perfect rebuttal to last year's rumors that the band was breaking up. No chance. The mighty Stewboss is back and we are all infinitely better for it.

  • Evocative lyrics
    author: Restless girl

    Haven't managed to get a copy of the album yet, but from what I've heard so far it's great - worth waiting for. Especially like "Your Street" - love the lyrics - very evocative makes me feel like I'm seventeen again. If only!!!

  • Very moving body of work. True time keeper of the spirit.
    author: Robert "Red Beard" Treat/www.basicluther.com

    "Up that wrinkled street" is a true master piece. It's a reflection of one's soul. Truly moving piece of work. Come to the East Coast and we'll do a show together.

  • Great CD. Can't stop listening to it!
    author: John Segura

    Great CD. Can't stop listening to it! Why aren't these guys WORLD FAMOUS?!!! Songwriting is fantastic. She Shines is my favorite song.

  • Counting Crows can't touch this.
    author: 1basonob

    These guys are unbelievable!! Just when I thought it couldn't get better with their last album, they hit me with this left hook! This is perhaps the best R'n'R i've heard in years and a must for any CD collection. The Counting Crows don't sound like and could never rock like these guys, so i'm not sure why people keep comparing the two. So, if you don't get this brilliant peace of work, you don't love rock n roll.

  • Generally, a fine album.
    author: McNic fae BonnieScotland.

    My first encounter with Stewboss. After the first four tracks, I was convinced that Adam Duritz had formed a new band and learned to control his runaway angst. Still, I found the music and lyrics very pleasing and although the sound is hardly unique, it is no less enjoyable for that. Since I detest anything remotely rockabilly, i'm knocking a star off for Distant Angel. If I hadn't been driving, i'd have taken a hammer to the CD player at that point. Overall, an extremely listenable affair and if that doesn't sound exactly like high praise, anyone who tunes in to the track excerpts and likes what they hear, will be a pretty happy bunny when their little disc arrives in the post.

  • Higher & Higher
    author: baxi

    Having initially caught these guys when Sweet Lullabye was first released, then backtracked to Wanted A Girl, I've waited with baited breath for this one. Was I happy with the wait? No. Because this is so good it should have arrived earlier! Sort of the Stones meet Dylan and I can't praise it any higher. Real lyrics telling real stories with fantastic (yet laid back) arrangements.

  • STEWBOSS back with a vengance
    author: Geoff Jasper

    The cd is superb. Great songs, great playing and great feel. Songs of love that can tear you apart or make you feel glad to be alive. There is also a little trick in the tail of this album at the end. The album is well worth a visit for new STEWBOSS people and an absolute must for existing fans. Keep it up fellas.

  • Thank You
    author: Marcus Sweden

    What can you say? For the fourth time the make a cd that should be a bestseller all around the world. This album is a mix of great guitars, great lyrics, great melodys, great song and 5 tonne of the best thing in the world: rock and roll. Thank you, Gregg, Jano, Luke and Frank!!!

  • he band are getting more maturer and going from strength to strength
    author: Barry Davies

    I thought it would be hard to follow the two previous albums, but Stewboss have come up trumps with this one. Not as many instantly hummable tunes - but then they are the ones you forget as quickly. This is a more mature collection that will be played for many a year to come.

  • Excellent New Album.
    author: bobo

    I've much enjoyed this excellent new album from Stewboss.It very much follows on the style of Sweet Lullabye but with a fuller sound and perhaps a greater unity between the tracks.

  • Fantastic
    author: Debs

    Another great CD from the guys - possibly not quite up there with their last one, but still great and after a few more listens I might change my mind. They're even better live....
