A to Z 2k18: T is for Those Poor Bastards

Band: Those Poor Bastards
Song: Old Pine Box
Album: The Plague (2008)
Genre: Gothic Country
Language: Brief

If you don't enjoy Those Poor Bastards at least a little bit, I'm legitimately concerned for you. This band (at least their older material) is some of my favorite music I've had the fortune of being shown.

I'm personally not a fan of Country music on the whole. There's some artists I enjoy, but all in all it's just not stuff that I like. Those Poor Bastards bringing in Gothic Country though, that's some really cool stuff. It's the lo-fi sound I'm really into though. There's some really twangy stuff they've put out that I'm not as in love with.

Now their album Satan Is Watching is hands down their best material in my mind, but The Plague is in a similar vein, so it's not too bad either when it comes down to it.

Old Pine Box is just solid, it's got a super haunted sound going on and those lo-fi drums with too much reverb are to die for.

What I'm about

I am Noah, king of casual english; One of those bloggers that just doesn't know how to string a proper sentence together to save his life. I really apologize for those of you that will hate that, apparently my honors in english just didn't stick.

I like everything from Satanic Thrash to Top 40s trash, so I'll probably hit on at least one song that you like someday.

Let's be real though, my main pull is Death Metal and Rap, so you'll see a decent amount of that since those are the two industries I mainly follow.

Schedule and Stuff

The posts go live at 12 am EST. If they don't, I probably wrote them the night before and fell asleep before actually clicking on the publish button. It's all good though.

Music wise I mostly pull from what I like. I'm totally open to suggestions in the comments, so if there's some genre you want to hear more of just let me know and I'll do what I can.

Some of this music might be offensive to you. Apologies, but it'll probably happen. Heck, 6 or 7 years ago I'd probably be appalled at what I'm listening to nowadays, haha

I'll try to always tag for language if the song has it though, so you can at least make sure not to listen to if around younger ears if that's something that concerns you.
