Details:
The Soupbone Throne are one of those bands whose songs are immediately familiar. Still, somehow they donât ape their influences (Alice in Chains, The Doors, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds), managing instead to mix them up into a unique stew of their own. The arrangements are tight and efficient, and as a result the songs come off as more rocking with acoustic guitars than some bands manage with cranked and distorted electric guitars. Volume doesnât necessarily equal power, balls do. Soupbone has âem.
