Formed from the ashes of the ill-fated yet
ultimately well-received pop-punk band Not Katies, Hello Frisco are a
no-nonsense genre-warping amalgamation
of punk, country and rock 'n'
roll that manipulates generic conventions, contorting them to suit
their atypical needs. On paper, it's
a weird concept and one that might seem somewhat forced or as being
different for different's
sake. The reality of it though, is a very different story. Punk and
country sensibilities are fused together seamlessly and instead of
the mish-mash it could have been, Hello Frisco's
début album Aint
No Devil, Only God When He's Drunk comes across as cheeky and
charming and acts as a reminder that you don't have to take yourself
too seriously in order to make good music.
