Album Review
Tumbledown – “Empty Bottle”
Legendary punk vocalist and bassist Mike Herrera (MxPx, Arthur, The Cooties) has been writing Country tunes since 1998. With the help of a few friends ( Jack Parker, Marshall Trotland, Harley Trotland), said passion for Country led him to start a side-project entitled Tumbledown. Under this moniker Herrera has already released 5 EPs and 2 full-lengths, his latest of which, Empty Bottle, dropped in 2010 via End Sounds.

Musically Tumbledown has approached their songs with a rocking Country vibe. They’ve made use of traditional Country instruments such as electric/acoustic guitars, harmonicas, mandolins and more to create their signature sound, while lyrically Herrera penned the songs in a style similar to that of his other projects. With the vocals being straightforward, and not low/whiny like one might hear on your typical Country tune, this adds a welcome flow to the music.
While listening to Empty Bottle I can definitely envision myself sitting down with a cold drink and singing along in a drunken daze. This album has definitely helped me to broaden my musical tastes – who knew Country could be so hip?
