The Waco Brothers have been standing at the corner of punk urgency and
Three-Chords-And-The-Truth country for 20 years now. They started at a time
when it was deemed patently absurd to mix the two types of music, but the Wacos
knew the score; they are different sides of the same coin, the personal wrapped
in the political. And instead of travelling calculated creative boulevards
during their career, the Waco Brothers have explored dark alleys and winding
gravel paths through nine releases, all with the headlights off and the pedal to
the metal, worrying (or not worrying) about end results later. With a body of
work known for the indelicate and raucous, this may be their most deliberate and
punchy
yet—no one’s more dangerous than a man with nothing to lose. The title can
be read two different ways, after all.
