Slim Cessna's Auto Club is one of those bands that crosses many musical boundaries while still hoding onto their roots. Hailing from Colorado, SCAC plays no compromise apocalyptic country punk. This and a few other LP's have been released on Jello's label Alternative Tentacles which is one of the reasons I was drawn to this group. Any country band on a punk label screams "This must be good!" and this group certainly sets the bar high for other groups. They tell stories in their music that can sometimes give goosebumps. Not only do they make amazing records but their live shows are so filled with energy that if they come to play near you, it would be a loss and mistake to miss them. I cannot to forget to mention Munly Munly, who has one of the most intimidating presences I have ever encountered. Munly also puts out his own even darker LP's. This record starts out with one of my all time favorites "This Is How We Do Things In The Country" and refuses to let up throughout the album. All the members in this Slim Cessna's Auto Club are extremely talented at writing and playing music and still do not get the recognition that they truly deserve. That fact is truly a shame. Songs such as "Cranston," "Mark of Vaccination," "Jackson's Hole," "Shady Lane," and "Sour Patch Kids" can send shivers up your spine as well as having you singing along.
