Still in Colorado and it’s snowing like a muthafucker today.

Today’s post is about North Twin’s new album and I just wanna say that had the Spotucky guys not sent me this I would have been writing a post about this album in the coming weeks. It’s fantastic.

Enjoy.

North Twins’ new album “Stronger at the Broken Places” was met with great anticipation from me and my co-host on Spotucky Radio. We even went so far as to recommend what to call the new album when the band asked. Incidentally, they did not take our advice. North Twin had made it known that bass player Rebbecca Young has battled cancer over the past year and I was wondering how this would effect the new album.

I interpreted North Twin’s first album “Falling Apart” to be an angry battle hymn. Most of the songs were full of fighting words except for the few reprieves into your girls arms. On “Stronger at the Broken Places” that same fight is still there. Instead of fighting to create a reality they think they need and want, North Twin fights to accept the realities life has given them. A few song titles say it all, “Hope it Goes Away”, “Clear as Day” “Roll on”, and “Do What You Gotta Do”. Of course all 11 songs are full of Tony Fughams powerful vocals and the pure rock & roll lead guitar we expect from North Twin. Some pleasant surprises on “Stronger at the Broken Places” include the addition of horns and organ in just the right spots on a few songs.

The best thing anybody could do with North Twin’s latest release is get yourself a few fellow sinners, roll around in the mud of life and get loaded again. All with “Stronger at the Broken Places” playing on the stereo.

North Twin – Fool
North Twin – Clear As Day
