The Two Gallants new self titled album is maybe their most well rounded yet. Their first one, The Throes, was great, full of energy, angst...kind of made you want to throw a brick through the other guys window. Their second, What The Toll Tells, fell a little short with me. The album had some standout tracks like Las Cruces Jail and Age of Assassins, but as a whole it just seemed like patchwork. This new record is great. One track doesn't stand out above all the rest. But they are all solid. It sounds to me like they are starting to figure it out. They vary tempos from song to song, just not as abruptly as before. A review explained the Two Gallants' music as if punk rock was invented in Oklahoma. I think that is a good assessment. Go buy their new album....now!
