Wood Chickens Countrycide

Wood Chickens embody The Meat Puppets, The Minutemen, The Country Teasers, Cows and The Cramps all in one band.

Wood Chickens sold/found/fed their lost souls somewhere at the chaotic crossroads of The Meat Puppets, The Minutemen, Mission of Burma, Camper Van Beethoven, The Country Teasers, Cows and The Cramps. This Madison, WI trio is the absolute fastest, brightest and tightest no-b******t-punk-band-with-country-leanings you will ever hear. End-of-story. Perpetually on tour and perpetually prolific, the band has spent the last bucket of years touring the US of A continually/relentlessly...and releasing handfuls of limited edition tapes and CD-rs on various indie imprints to keep the fans satiated. This record will play nice with yr Gun Club, X, Uncle Tupelo and Dead Moon records...We swear and pinky-promise. Countrycide was recorded blown-out onto 1/4'' tape by myself in my Madison studio, Dead Mast, over the course of 3 months this past summer. We used a Tascam 388 to get this sounding hot n gritty from the get-go...just to make sure it would smoke all sorts of trees, stems, seeds and all. And don't you worry, this isn't yr momma or papa's country-punk/cow-punk/rockabilly band, this is the voice and a choice of a new generation. WELCOME IN THE WOOD CHICKENS. Countrycide includes classic Chix faves ''Hex On Me'', ''Flesh and Blood'', ''Angie Hosh'', ''Desert Highway'' and 10 more cuts of deranged lo-fi country-fried punk! - Bobby Hussy, October 2016
