I think this is my favorite new drinking band.  Hailing from San Francisco, Two Gallants play a very interesting take on 30’s era acoustic blues, interpreted by two early 20s white boys.  1 electric guitar/vocalist/harmonica player and 1 drummer.  Unique, yet oddly familiar.  “Nothing To You” is one the best tracks off their full length, “The Throes,” and is always a crowd pleaser.  The guitar playing in this band is really awesome.  Really good finger picking, slides, capos, all that jazz.  Not to mention the lyrics, which often read like short stories.  All backed up by very intricate drumming, that is at times jagged and chaotic, perfectly fitting the guitar playing.  I must say, the best songs I have heard from these guys are their new tunes that have not been recorded yet… I am looking forward to their next record.  Pick this up, or better yet, catch them live.
