HOLIDAY SALE AT THE ONION STORE

Artist Drunk Drivers

Eau Claire's Drunk Drivers keep their case files active by constantly relapsing and being happy that way, thunking out bleary fist-pumpers that celebrate the Midwest's fuckups while making them sound pretty lovable. Like a lot of bands who've put out music on Madison's Crustacean Records, they're pretty content with a simple diet of grunge and punk sounds. But frontman Nathan Brelsford puts a lot of sympathy into it for a dude with just one greasy growl in his vocal arsenal, and the band overall is simple in a good way, keeping 2007'sModel Citizen focused on the meat of the songs with a mix of heroics and humility.
