I’m gonna be really blunt here and just say that Arliss Nancy is a rock band from the great state of Colorado and on their most recent album, Dance To Forget, they sound a little bit like Two Cow Garage, Lucero, Drive By Truckers and Drag The River but not exactly the same as any of ‘em. You could easily stop reading here and get it exactly, but still… Their particular brand of rock music could be (sorta) labeled as alt-country rock but is more rock than country despite being kinda twangy. Call it slow-burning Southern rock if that makes you feel better about it. It’s gruff but (as I just said) there are shades of dark gothic country that come through as well. Dance To Forget is also heavier that I expected it to be, and while I also discern bits and fragments of late 90’s alternative rock in the big guitars, there is plenty of heartache everywhere else. Listening is like drinking white dog straight with a chaser of razorblades. And with that, I’ll pour myself another drink and keep on listening. Suburban Home should sign these guys.
