Deep River Day is the first full-length release from Boston’s own “orchestra” folk punksters Bread & Roses (out on the excellent Fistolo Records). I would describe Bread & Roses as old school Americana – country and bluegrass played with a punk spirit and a huge nod to Woodie Guthrie (all on acoustic instruments of course – mandolin, upright bass, banjo, fiddle). The cover of the traditional “Babylon is Fallen (To Rise No More)” is outstanding. See’em at a soup kitchen near you, soon.
