opus dog - responsible people

opus dog is a rip-roaring, incredibly high energy folk-punk band out of wisconsin. their music combines the speed and thrust of punk rock, especially behind the drum kit, with frantic, skillful fiddling, yell-singing and strummy guitar and mandolin work.

on their latest album 'responsible people' the band does have its pensive moments in-between bursts of energy, which serve to highlight rough-hewn, lilting harmonies and more finger-picking oriented guitar. there are even electrified moments.
