David Dondero/Mischief Brew "Two Boxcars" Split



I know I'm behind in the times and David Dondero has released A Pre-existing Condition and whatever but I recently came across this amazing split and can't stop listening to it. Seeing one of the two names on this should be enough to send you to your local internet search engine. It starts out with a man and his daughter's lifeless corpse in an ice cooler going to the Brownsville Assembly in search of false hope in Dondero's "The Brownsville Revival", a slightly varied version from the "South Of The South" one with some added piano thing tracks or whatever.  Erik Petersen (Mischief Brew)'s two begin with a tired alternative to traditional bullshit folk-punk songs in which he emphasizes his hatred for these anti-war anthems. The second, "Goodbye Under God", is a response to the dated controversy of the "under god" line in the pledge. Don't get me wrong, I fucking love David Dondero and you should definitely go out and buy his shit but I just think that this is the best thing I've heard from Mischief Brew yet.

Boyfriends.

I believe these guys are like a stripped down version of 1994! or something, and thats pretty much exactly how they sound. I can't stop listening to the first track on their demo, "people stuff", this shits great. Imagine the above picture over simple but catchy guitars. They have a self titled 7" ep available in TWO different translucent colors, a split with another good old fashion band you might not want people to see in your search bar, Boys & Sex, and two demos out. You can buy their shit on their website or download it on their bandcamp via scrolling down, so get on that shit!
