A much bigger-sounding undertaking for Eric Bachmann (ex-front for Archers of Loaf) is evidenced completely in this, the first track released from the new LP from Crooked Fingers, Forfeit/Fortune, set for release October 7. Rather than recording the album live...

Not a new song, or even a new sound, really, but I heard it a month or two ago and kinda liked it, mostly for the clever chorus (oh yeah, and it rhymes a bit).

Let me tell you a little something about one of my current favorites. "New Drink For An Old Drunk" from Crooked Fingers. The first time I heard this song I was blown away with the powerful vocals that sound like they are coming from the "old drunk" himself.

The shift from Archers' rambunctious indie rock to Crooked's darker, masculine, poetic Americana was gra...

Three years marks the longest yet that listeners have had to wait for a new Crooked Fingers album. Though Eric Bachmann's 2006 To the Races solo album did come out in the meantime, it wasn't the same as a full on assault from the band. Forfeit / Fortune crafts some interesting moves in the overall [...]
