The Opinion

If anyone ever needs a reason why alcohol can be a good thing, just make 'em listen to Bondo's "Fistful Of Biscuits." This heavy blues-based rock album is chock full of odes to drinking (think George Thoroughgood on steroids). But these guys aren't limited to the world of booze. They also branch off into sex. Bondo isn't trying to change the world or explore new musical gound. But they've provided an excellent album that celebrates just having fun.

With such deep profundities like, "there's only two things worth fighting for. One comes in a bottle, the other one's truth. Thing is, that bottle can change the truth." from "Don't Touch my Bourbon," you know exactly where these guys stand. They just want to have fun and they want the listener to do the same. And Bondo backs up their message with some great music. You can't help but tap your foot along as you throw back shots.

The musicianship throughout the album is rock-solid. From the guitars to the horns, Bondo knows exactly what they need to do to foster the festive atmosphere. The only lull at the party happens during "Angels Drove Me Home." Although a decent song, it breaks the pace of the album.

The production of the album is nicely done. The horns punctuate the music without overpowering the other instruments, while the strong vocals ride just above the musical fray. Having fun is what Bondo is all about, and they've provided a good time party soundtrack with "Fistful Of Biscuits"

Nutshell Review

A 100 proof album that goes down so smooth you don't even need a chaser.
