Provenienti dallo Iowa, i Drunken Boat (Todd Colby al canto, Todd Serbousek e
Steve Gross alle chitarre) scrivono canzoni che sono atti d'accusa spietati
contro la violenza e l'amoralita` della metropoli newyorkese. Dopo un primo
album ancora incerto, Drunken Boat (First Warning, 1991),
il gruppo registro` l'arduo e vibrante album
See Ruby Falls (First Warning, 1992),
percorso da nevrosi Husker Du in Pool e
da incubi Velvet Underground via i Feelies in Day Long Day.
Funky grooves, sometimes reminiscent of Public Image Ltd, shake
Dressy Hat (Yesha, 1995), and artsy pretensions permeate most of the
songs, but the winners are relatively straightforward rockers like
Apple Wine and I Love You.
