Best band out there right now. Anders Beck is a machine. Bont, Bruzza, and Devol keep a killer rhythm section. While Hoffman plays the lead vocals and kills it on the mandolin.

Finally got Handguns in the mail the other day, overall a great album & I'm happy to hear experimentation for them, with horns & a kazoo... More steel guitar, too. Enough memorable songs to make it a strong album, they can keep going strong with it as any indication!
