Distinctly NYC guitar-band sound, The Rake’s Progress has club veteran feel. Clever lyrics and clean production with Replacements influence laced throughout.
If reverb-laden Elvis Presley vocals, corny, tough guy lyrics, and punkabilly twang guitar make you pole, then prepare yourself for this 15 song wonder.
This is no screechy girl band, they harmonize and feature such instrumentation as a violin while managing to shake your neighbor’s Dali prints off the walls.
Musical proficiency and composition have increased, along with the heaviness factor, and their wit and sense of the ribald has sharpened since Scamboogery.
