Countless Thousands - You're Goddamn Right

.
It didn't come as any surprise to read that Countless Thousands list Against Me! as an influence because this punkish act's singer Danger Van Gorder is many times a dead ringer for AM!'s Laura Jane Grace. And not just in vocal tone - although it is a significant shared variable - but these song lyrics are also smart and wordy, much like Against Me!.

Although punk's restless spirit is an influence, one hears an acoustic guitar groove on "Excellent Horse Like Lady," and "Only Child," with its cowboy twang, reveals the act's musical versatility. The latter song doesn't pull any punches when Van Gorder explains, "My sister's is an a**hole/And we don't talk/cause she's an a**hole." One assumes this song is inspired by real-life relational troubles. And if so, one suspects this angry song won't help the healing process much.

This music will make you perk up and listen more closely because Countless Thousands create smart noise.
