1 Comment · Tuesday, November 20, 2012
Homemade Drugs are in it to win it, all
the way. Moving through life’s social insecurities and uneasiness,
somewhere in that space, amongst the unwanted furniture, is a plan. Homemade Drugs are grabbing their moment
and not looking back, only ahead. Ahead to Saturday’s release of their
self-titled, self-released 10-song album. Ahead to vinyl plans, which are forming
nicely with Youngstown, Ohio’s Lion’s Care Recordings. Ahead to whatever
happens.

There’s a case to be made that musicians often draw on
their acting skills as performers and that actors channel their inner
Rock star when working a crowd. Chris Isaak has totally blurred the line
between those two constructs.

Unless you’ve seen Delta Spirit before, there is no way
you are fully prepared for one of its concerts. Not so much a raging,
thrashing party as just a gentle, bouncing ocean of people, the crowd’s
vibe at a Delta Spirit concert is transcendent, almost spiritual.
JEFF the Brotherhood

JEFF the Brotherhood's strangely typeset, non-acronymic
name is part fabrication and part truth. No one in the two-piece is
named Jeff, but a brotherhood is at its core.
