5 The Hard Way – Spitting Nickels
Of their live shows, Spitting Nickels say “You might even forget about your day job for a bit,” and the band (Dennis Miriani, Chris Brosky, John Bissa and local rock n’ roll fixture Eddie Baranek) take the working man angle on their new EP 5 The Hard Way.
The band take on topics of blue-collar Americana, such as working for the man (“Give & Take”), cheap drinks (“4 The Hard Way”), being in a bar band (“The Bitch Of It All”) and soccer moms (“You’re The Bomb, Soccer Mom”). The latter is a country-tinged diddy which almost could’ve been a Sarah Palin campaign song – maybe if not for the line about “$40 nails coming up my back”. Even still, 5 The Hard Way is a solid EP of Ghetto Recorders-produced, vintage -sounding, Beatles-esque rock n’ roll.
