I Got a Broken Quailbones

The cover of the latest Quailbones EP is disconcerting. That's a good start. 'Concerting' is too arranged to have any impact. Quailbones have an impact on me. On an initial listen I wrote "gothic Pixies" down on the notepad in front of the computer. Kinda like Bella Lugosi's DEEEEAD but with the reverb somewhere in between the two.

Brendan dug on the first EP and I agree with him on this one. These Kentuckians easily take the mantle from the Colonel on the 'great things outta Kentucky' list.

Quailbones

Hailing from Kentucky, Quailbones have just released You Stay Out Of My Family, You Stay Out Of My Face, a six song EP that runs the gamut of rock persuasions and fidelity. I was going to talk about 'Everybody Do The Doomwagon', the unofficial single, but instead I continually gravitate towards 'A Tip To Trick The Tide'. Its pretty killer, and is one of my favourite tracks of the month. Check it out - if you like what you hear, you can download the EP here, or you can get cassettes if you ask the band reeeeeeeeeeeeealy nicely...

Quailbones - A Tip To Trick The Tide

About

It was early on a Sunday morning at ATP - A Nightmare Before Christmas 2009. After downing a fair few, at 4am we decided to cook a curry. It was during the consumption of this drunkenly delicious breakfast treat that we decided to actually do something about the music we talk about all the time.

So we started a blog – and Sonic Masala was born. Now into its seventh year, the blog has spread out to call both Australia and the UK its home (and the rest of the world), and has expanded to include gigs, festivals and a record label under its black umbrella. Come on, eat the noize.

If an mp3 is up here, it's because we have been talking about it, and think the whole world needs to know more. It's there to give you a little taste. Then, if you like, check out the band live and spend all your hard earned cash on their records. If we've posted up an mp3 of your stuff and you're not too keen on the idea, let us know and we'll happily take it down pronto.
