Harley Poe - Wretched. Filthy. Ugly. (LP, Coloured vinyl, Orange)

Facts Misanthropic horror-themed acoustic punk. The music will steal your heart... then eat your brain. "Wretched. Filthy. Ugly. Combines the jittery, hyperactive feel of acoustic folk rock and the trashiness of horror movies. The band behind it, Harley Poe, fabricates a unique sound all it's own. Singer/songwriter Joseph Whiteford has composed a collection of 10 electrifying songs. The lyrics are naive and callow one minute, then become bitterly frustrated and rebellious the next. Whiteford's intense views of despair and derangement come off as catchy and even humorous at times. His lively personality keeps the music engaging and compelling without overindulging in mood swings, the confessional lines of melancholy accompanied by Kevin Philips' busy acoustic bass riffing.
