2017-06-30 EP REVIEW - THE DEAD MAGGIES "Wild Dogs and Flannies" (2017)

The Dead Maggies Wild Dogs and Flannies"
Release date: April 14, 2017
Running time:17:24, 5 tracks

The Dead Maggies have released two EPs in 2017, “the black one” and “the white one”. The black one is titled “Wild Dogs and Flannies” and lyrically differs from previous albums. The Tasman folk punk kings have delivered 5 tracks about “heavy issues such as domestic violence, assisted suicide and depletion of wilderness”.

When I die” features both male and female vocals and it’s a country number with a rockabilly twist.

She” was previously released as a single and I enjoy the vocals treatment. the next cut is called “Goodbye Gondwanaland”, an amazing number with a folkie flavour.

The last two tracks on the EP, “Wild Dogs & Foxes” and “All of my Flannies Are Broken”, are musically closer to the band’s previous offerings. That is, foot-stomping folk-punk at its best.

If you’re missing the lyrics about convicts and bushrangers, don’t worry. The songs on the “white EP” aka “The Wild Folk” tell those Tasmanian tales again (release date: June 2nd, 2017)
