When I first read Bandhaus’ self-described tagline, "We play whiskey folk for whiskey folk," I immediately placed them into some Irish sounding category of music, which is simply not my bag. I was super stoked when what I heard was more of The Replacements and The Ramones than The Pogues. While Bandhaus does offer some sweet sounding folk ballads and lighter vocals on tracks like "Teddy Ruxpin" and "Sometimes I Look Like Jesus", at their core they’re a punk rock band that seems to have had more acoustic instruments lying around than they did electric. Don’t be fooled with the whole whiskey thing though, they’re really into gin too. –Written by Jodi Lang
