Yesterday's Ring - Diamonds In The Ditch 2xLP or CD SH 121
If this band and this release has not shown up on your radar, it is time that you take a minute and experience their new album. Yesterday’s Ring features the members of Fat Wreck recording artist, The Sainte Catherines, and some might call Yesterday’s Ring their Americana alter-ego. That in and of itself sells what YR does short. I would not call this Alt-Country, as I think the songwriting was inspired by so many different styles and songwriters. When I listen to the album, I hear Murder City Devils, I hear Rancid, I hear the Sainte Catherines, I hear Two Cow Garage, and sure there are elements inspired by roots music, but calling it Americana doesn’t tell the full story.
