BIG D AND THE KIDS TABLE
STRICTLY RUDE (SIDE ONE DUMMY)
Their fourth full-length and SideOneDummy debut, Strictly Rude, which was produced by Mighty Mighty BossTones bassist and fellow Bostonian Joe Gittleman, is the product of a focused and hardworking band confident in their ability to do just that.
Musically and lyrically, Strictly Rude is the band's most mature work to date. The sounds of a piano, organ, and melodica rub up against the familiar horns and guitars.
And although some of McWane's youthful, fun-loving lyrical stylings remain - take the rambunctious party tune "Noise Complaint," for example - he also deals with much more serious themes like political call-to-action ("Try Out Your Voice,") alcoholism ("Breaking the Bottle,") and tolerance (Hell On Earth).
The band will hit the road in March in support of Anti-Flag and will previewing songs from Strictly Rude!
