Fallow Field

The Old Haunts' latest offering, "Fallow Field," is like a fine bottle of scotch - aged to perfection and guaranteed to leave a warm, fuzzy feeling in your soul. This trio from Olympia, Washington, have been churning out gritty, garage rock anthems for over a decade, and their latest effort is no exception. From the opening track, "Never New," it's clear that The Old Haunts have lost none of their edge. The snarling vocals of frontman Craig Extine cut through the fuzzed-out guitars and pounding drums like a chainsaw through butter. It's a raw, unapologetic sound that refuses to be tamed. Tracks like "Ghost Town Blues" and "Empty Highway" showcase the band's knack for crafting infectious hooks that will have you tapping your foot and singing along in no time. The old-school punk rock energy is palpable, and it's impossible to resist the urge to jump up and down like a maniac. But it's not all about aggression and attitude. The haunting ballad "Silent Night" sees The Old Haunts showing off their softer side, with delicate acoustic guitars and heartfelt lyrics that will tug at your heartstrings. In summary, "Fallow Field" is a triumphant return for The Old Haunts, proving that they're still at the top of their game after all these years. So pour yourself a glass of your favourite tipple, crank up the volume, and let The Old Haunts take you on a wild ride through their dark and captivating world. Cheers to that!
