Murder City Devils

I really like the "Murder City Devils".
This is what short brown haired girl said to me at a record store downtown almost 6 years ago.
I had never really heard of this band, but i was looking at a Modest Mouse vinyl when this girl looked over my should and told me that Dan Gallucci (Modest Mouse guitarist) was in this band.
I really liked them and i have been a fan ever since.
They are a weird mix between garage-punk and something else. There use of keyboards is really sweet.
They have really gruff vocals that are reminiscent of bands like flogging molly and the drop-kick Murphy's.
But this band transcends them. They are rough and wild and though i never got to see them live, i would recommend it if they were in a town near you.

I will warn you however, if you do get a chance to go see them, watch out for flying bottles and angry people because their shows are notorious for them.
