SARAH SHOOK & THE DISARMERS
When Sidelong, Sarah Shook & the Disarmers' debut album, was released in early 2017, it quickly earned kudos for its blast of fresh, fierce honesty and sly wit. It was a welcome new voice in a genre too often mired in the staid and conventional. Years solidifies the point: Sarah Shook & the Disarmers have moved from getting people's attention to commanding it. Inspired by artists such as the Sex Pistols, Elliott Smith and Hank Williams, Sarah sings with confidence, control, and a hint of menace. The Disarmers match her on every track.
"Honest to a fault and foul mouthed as a drunken sailor, she's a nonconforming spitfire who's proud of not fitting in with mainstream country music" - Rolling Stone.
North Carolina's Sarah Shook sings with a conviction and hard honesty sorely missing in much of today's Americana landscape. Rowdy punk rock insolence to the right, a bottle in a bag; organic three chords and the truth frankness to the left. Always passionate, at times profane, Sarah stalks/walks the line between vulnerable and menacing, her voice strong and uneasy, country classic but with contemporary, earthy tension. At times it's as simple and muscular as Luther Perkins' boom-chicka-boom or as downtown as Johnny Thunders. Sidelong is a record that will make you sit up and notice.
This is a new voice for a new country.
