Tumbledown and John Nolan at Triple Rock Social Club
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 his 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. Slower songs like the blood-red rockabilly stroll “Butcher Of San Antone” are better, suggesting that—while hardly meaner than a cobra—Tumbledown might survive out here in the Wild Wild West. Also taking a slight detour, former Taking Back Sunday man John Nolan ditches Straylight Run for his own solo jaunt, which finds him rounding out his pensive mood-pop with appropriately ghostly electronics.
