Music Monday..

Seriously, it’s very rare for me to actually fall in love with a band half way through the first listen of a song of theirs. Even rarer still for me to actually listen to full a playlist on ShitSpace. This is exactly what happened upon hearing “A Night In A Box”. Specifically their song “Rich Man Stable”.

A Night In The Box – The Rich Man’s Table

Call it what you want (though I think most people will call it Fuzz Rock, I call it awe-some), this band fuses bluegrass and southern, folk rock into a fantastic long player that is full of sliding riffs, clapping and stomping. Enough to make you tap your foot along with them.

Hell they actually do it twice. First with the debut album “The Hustle, The Prayer, The Thief” and then with their sophomore album called “Write A Letter” featuring the track above. Here is a little bit more about the band from there label site, Afternoon Records:

Take a banjo, a fiddle, the guitar, drums and some damn fine hats, and you’ve got the Minneapolis-based A Night in the Box. The image is easily described, but it is slightly more difficult to characterize their sound.

Started in 2006 by three high school friends, Alex Dalton (drums, vocals), Clayton Hagen (lead vocals, guitar) and Travis Hetman (banjo, vocals, guitar, harmonica), A Night in the Box released their debut album “The Hustle, The Prayer, The Thief” in 2006 on Afternoon Records.

Their Americana-infused soul and bluegrass with the intensity of hardcore punk aesthetic has since won over fans and critics worldwide.

Their sophomore effort “Write a Letter” is rounded out with fourth member Kailyn Spencer (violin), adding her own diverse musical background to the already complex melting pot of creative influences that Box fans love. Adding a mixture of accessible pop hooks with their quintessential gritty sound will reach out to tried and true fans and new fans alike.
