Get Out With Exploit Boston! for The Blizzard of 78 CD Release Party on January 29th
January 26, 2009
The Blizzard of 78 is celebrating the release of their second album, Book of Lies, on Thursday, January 29th. I don’t like to throw around the word epic too much (though maybe I am a bit gratuitous with “awesome” lately); but … yes, this band’s latest album IS both epic and awesome. I’ll warn you, when you hear them live or listen to the new CD, you may be inspired to have a temper tantrum, annoyed you did not know about this band sooner.
In Their Words: About Book of Lies
Here’s how The Blizzard of 78 describes their latest album, Book of Lies:
From the triumphant charge of “The Song” to the breathtaking crescendo of “Well Enough Alone,” Book of Lies plays like a jukebox at your favorite dive bar. It sits comfortably next to the bands of today like My Morning Jacket, Wilco, and Nick Cave, or with the classics of yesterday like The Who, Stones, and CCR.
