Welcom to Sodom

"New Orleans emanates from the first notes of Ticonderoga. All the booze, sleaze, debauchery - jeez it's no wonder that God sent Katrina as a wakeup call to our modern day Sodom. It's like a street party where you'd better have a chain connected to your wallet, otherwise by the end of the night it'll be gone, and the contents in the hands of some liquor store purveyor, or the drug dealer down the block. With a sound truly their own (if I had to make a comparison to any band I'd say Ween), Morning 40 Federation employ a wide variety of instruments, to come up with an honestly raw sound. Naturally you've got your drums, guitars, etc. but that's all augmented with an occasional brass section, and Hammond organ to pinpoint a few. Not for the effete, but certainly for the jaded, crack open a 40."
