Here you have it!

"Hogjaw is one of these bands that one can't understand why they aren't more well known. True southern rock, with its roots in the heaviest part of Lynyrd Skynyrd and other legendary bands like Blackfoot; for this Arizona quartet, quality jam band, rock is something primitive and direct; with just the appropiate arrangements in hard worked tunes where you can also perceipt some Allman Brothers and Molly Hatchet influence in an actualized twist. 'Devil In The Details' is the first album by Kwal (drums), Craig Self (guitar), Jonboat Jones (vocals and guitar) and Elvis D (bass); friends from high-school years and part-time musicians (no one is making a living with the band, at the moment). Ten tunes that you can easily find short, where the power of the guitars and the broken voice are their main characteristic; a music where the improvisation of "Cheap Whisky" (last one in the album) lives with an excellent cover of the now legendary "East Bound and Down", main theme of Burt Reynold's movie 'Smokey and The Bandit' (1977).

Sorry for my english, guys!

Cheers,

Marc (yeah, the same who wrote it in spanish)
