Tumbledown
No longer just an alt-country lark for MxPx frontman Mike Herrera, Tumbledown has become the long-running pop-punker’s main focus over the past couple of years. On the band’s self-titled debut, Herrera sticks mostly to raucous drinking anthems dressed up in twang and outlaw swagger—although, with his distinctive nasally bark, it occasionally sounds like some Dead Milkmen-esque piss-take. His latest record, 2010’s Empty Bottle, adds an edge of social awareness to the mix—via the galloping border-town story-song “Arrested In El Paso Blues”—but it’s still largely populated by anxious souls whose weeklong benders are the only thing between them and their dreams.
