What the hell?! On the back of this is says �published by Brass Button & Sony/ATV music publishing Scandinavia�. Now what the hell kind of a mainstream band is this? I�ve never heard of the band before and I�ll most likely never give it a listen again. Now that was my initial thought, but I still can�t help but to get a little drawn in to this, as the rockin� 50ies, spaghetti western tune Dead town sets in. I�m surprised to see this released on New Noise Records, but I guess Sylen�s trying to hit it big, or something, I don�t know. But even though this is some weird-ass hillbilly music I�d except to hear from a raggarbil passing by I can�t help but to still dig it. Like mixing 50ies rock with some country and with a twist of Cornelis Vreeswijk, Mikael Wiehe, Bj�rn Afzelius, Johnny Cash and Man �verbord. It is actually quite cool, and I might actually give this some more listens. Does that mean I�m white trash?

Tracklist:
