Joe Pug on Daytrotter

Yesterday, Daytrotter posted their session with Joe Pug. Joe performed one track from his first ep, Nation of Heat, and three songs from his new album Messengers. My favorite line from the Daytrotter write-up is as follows, "It’s like reaching for a cup of coffee, intent of enjoying a small and toasty sip, believing that you’re going to have to take it slow or risk burning your tongue out of your mouth, only to find that the liquid in the cup has gone disgustingly cold in the span between sips." Joe Pug’s music is filled with continual sense that live is out to get you, but he delivers with a warm and understanding of a veteran bar-hand after close.
