"The Concept": If Bruce Springsteen had somehow saved Keith Moon from OD'ing on anti-depressants, then both, or at the same instance, run into Jello Biafra at the landromat..., where the Dead Milkmen were just warming up to do a fabric-softener-ad radio-spot, before a somewhat-drunken Mojo Nixon started yelling about how *somebody* (...tho a Republican, if not G.W.B. himself, likely) had "stolen" the dryer he had just loaded all his torn t-shirts & denim into (...an hour, or 3-4 beers, before), albeit w/out having the 75-cents to start it up in the first place.......::: a great laugh was had by all, except for all the *nearly*-fights that occurred during the recording session & towel-folding. To simplify::: if a sorta-younger John "Cougar" Mellencamp had "heavier" topics on his mind than "Pink Houses", & kept getting spill-proof mugs of whatever psycho-actives could be derived from coffee (...on a regular, on-the-way-to-work basis), & devoted his life to catchy "punk-folk" songs about the rushing sound of America swirling down the drain...(& can ya hear it?!?, can ya?!!?)::::(i.e., a "politically incorrect" sense-of-humor, & decent taste in neo-Americana-punk, required). So, "Sounds Like": Bruce Springsteen, vs. The Dead Kennedys, vs. Mojo Nixon & Skid Roper, vs. The Dead Milkmen, vs. John Prine, vs. Country Joe & the Fish...(in other words, think of The Fugs, but four decades later) "Members Include": Rudy "M.B." Gillen: lyrics/vocals (lead & backing)/guitars (lead & rhythm)/recording/production; Brad Annable: drums; Jim Childs: harmonica/additional percussion; Sam Forkner: keyboards/horns; John Matteson: bass/banjo/mandolin/flute; Toby Rosenthal: strings (all kinds); Mike Seymour: drums (...altho Mike may actually be dead, due to a bizarre gardening accident...) <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/The+Armies+of+Rudy">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
