Henry`s Funeral Heading to Europe
Posted by: Arzgarth on 1/21/2010 6:33:25 AM
HENRY`S FUNERAL SHOE is currently on tour in Europe in support of their debut, Everything`s For Sale.
“Their sound can be heavy as a 2000 lb. budgie, menacing as a back-alley swaying drunk, and when they crank up the riffing or let rip with some high-octane slide, it’s as transporting as anything by post-Mississippi Fred McDowell.”
– PopMatters
“Ten songs just under 35 minutes… and a fantastic first release.”
– The Neus Subject
“Everything’s for Sale boasts both stripped-down force and high-impact emotional energy, with Aled’s vocals suggesting both TOM WAITS’ grit and NICK CAVE’s gravitas while the guitar roars with gutbucket conviction and a rocker’s desire to turn that volume knob to the right. HENRY’S FUNERAL SHOE are a truly fine band, regardless of their small size.”
– All Music Guide
“This is a band that proves the nu-blues movement in the U.K is very much awake and raising the bar.”
– Blues In London
