It’s been one epic rock n roll climb for Nashville’s own The Criticals. I’ve had the boys on my show a few times and I consider them dear friends, but I’m also a massive fan of them. One of my favorite memories of being on the road last summer, was almost every city I was in, I’d see something about The Criticals playing that city and a lot of the times the tickets were close to sold out. They’re one of those bands who kicked off their career doing exactly what they wanted to and that alone has done the rock n roll world a massive favor. If most bands could make it look as easy as The Criticals do, rock n roll would be in a much better place that’s for sure. The band dropped “Clever Girl” on Friday and it’s been stuck in my head every since. One of my favorite things about this band is how their music and live show takes you on a ride along with them, and the music video below, will show you exactly what I mean. I’ve loved watching the rest of the world catching onto this band, and I saw a post recently saying this is their final EP. I sure hope that means the next one will be an LP and not something else, because to me The Criticals are one of the most important bands in rock n roll right now, and I will die on this hill.
Now do yourself a favor and turn this one up NOW.
