Good Luck at the Hog Slaughter

"Jim Fitzpatrick leads with bright, angular guitar and throaty vocals. The lyrics read like poetry while six-strings complement with melodic upheaval. Good Luck At The Hog Slaughter plays on nostalgia by recalling bands like Pavement and Fugazi. Drummer Chris Gorka tears through the kit, moving from powered jazz to twitchy punk. Every member does their fair share of heavy lifting as each song moves in flux through heady sections. Punchy bass keeps the affair grounded with solid rhythm, and works as an extension of Gorka’s percussion.
