"This Texas trio relentlessly challenges musical conventions, both old and new."
Columbus Dispatch May 1, 2003
"Boxcar Satan revives the maniacal, throbbing sound that the Jesus Lizard and the Cows unleashed a decade ago."
Album Description
On its third long player, Boxcar Satan continues to defy expectations and expands its already diverse sonic palette by ornamenting its noisy, post-punk take on pre-war blues with touches of Cajun music, gospel and even tasteful prog. Honing their songs with a newfound melodicism and complexity, the Boxcars spin tales of train-wreck lives, bandit queens and carnival freakshow stars. And their take on the Depression-era song "How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live?" seems all too appropriate in the current political environment.
