The fact that Limbeck call Orange County, CA home is a bit of a head-scratcher. Based on their home, you'd be more likely to expect a hardcore or punk band as opposed to an alt-country outfit. On their fourth full-length effort (third for Doghouse) the band continues to deliver a fun and upbeat mix of pop, country, and Americana. And while the band is very narrowed in their musical output, they still find ways to distinguish their songs from each other. Some are upbeat pop numbers - "Big Drag" and "Keeping Busy - while others are slower and highlight their country and folk influences - "Bird Problems" and "Sunset Limited." Even if you find the thought of country music stomach churning, I recommend you investigate Limbeck further as they bring a modern twist to the genre.

Limbeck is one of those bands who manages to get things right for the most … Read more
