***A decade after singer / guitarist Chris Biester, drummer Chris Dillion, and multi-instrumentalist Mike McGovern, who adds a "sleepy hollow" touch with his accordion and banjo, convened in Columbus, Ohio, to record Hobo's Codebook at Diamond Mine studios with Chris Forbes (New Bomb Turks, Jenny Mae and Bizzy Bone). Biester's guitar still soars, though a bit sadder, darker, and folksier. A few years of whisky and cigarettes have aged Biester's voice quite well. ADR will be playing some regional and east coast dates following the release of Hobo's Codebook. Genuine, kicking, loud, irony-free, half-drunk, no-assembly-required rock and roll with big raw guitars...This has more tunes and fewer bells and whistles than anything out of the Ohio Rock World since Gaunt, or the Mice or even the Pagans. --Popwatch [T]his Ohio trio could teach the entire Brit-pop movement a thing or two about what it means to make vital, tuneful, non-grungy rock'n'roll. --Option |
