SOUND'S Review of the Record.  Grab a copy, they get you all pumped for Sasquatch this year..

****[Four] Stars
Portland's Blue Horns' debut album begins with "Shotgun Wedding," a smashing King's-of-Leon-type tune, but with none of the incidental southern swing. The first 12 seconds will tell you almost everything you need to know: This band creates energetic pop ditties led by clean guitars and drums reminiscent of American grange hall rock of the 50's and 60's. 

Frontman Brian Park's vocals interact with the stringent but joyous melodies like a drunk moth against a porch light, making for a fresh riff-heavy rock that is as much classic as it is unpredictable.  Songs like "Lets Go Hunting" --which has an incredibly catchy riff as infectious as that of "I Can't Get No (Satisfaction)" --and "Boots On" don't let up until the final seconds of the last waning note, much like the album in total.
