“Heartache and Jack Daniel’s. Good sex, bad sex, guitars. Sweet love songs and dirty, chugging country tunes. The occasional bubble of self-pity blitzed by a nasty riff, and the odd spot of lechery justified by the fact that, well, we all get the horn – so why pretend? The New York Fund have all the soulful country rock’n’roll ingredients that have always been and will always be.”
I first posted about this band back in November of 2006. At the time they were an unsigned band with a few tracks up on myspace and a rumored EP to be coming out sometime in the unforeseen future. Well, the EP has come out and you can pick it up on iTunes. Power-pop songs with country hooks and an overall rollicking good time. I still recommend this band anyone who will listen. For an added treat head over to their myspace site and listen to their cover of Cyndi Lauper’s Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Do yourself a favor and avoid their official site though, it is one of the worst band web sites I have seen in quite some time. Drop the flash and set up a straight forward page guys.
