Details:
"I racked my friggin' brain trying to figure out who might have influenced Shotgun Kitchen and came up empty. Maybe Trick Pony meets Frank Zappa? Heck, I don't know. What I do know is that the Olympia-based quintet doesn't take themselves too seriously as they poke fun at religion and politics with their tongues firmly planted in their cheeks. While they dub themselves as folk rock, the band's songs tell a different story as they flirt with ass-kicking country, blues, and straight up rock and incorporate banjo and acoustic guitars for a down-home feel. Shotgun Kitchen is Joe McInnis, Bekah Jurgensen, Joe Moralez, Tony Ryder and Vanessa LaValle. The record includes all original material and is a downright fun listen with tunes such as the campy "If Jesus Had A Gun" and the hardcore country shuffle "Go Baby Jesus", which is led by the powerhouse vocals of Jurgensen. They lighten things up a tad for the slow moving ballad "Carol's Bar". Shotgun Kitchen skates on the urdan frings and does so with candor and style." - The Weekly Volcano
