"Jimmy" 
|
From their formation in early 2011, The Brown Bottle Flu has gained the attention of many in the greater Bloomington Indiana area. The trio consists of Sharlene Birdsong who pours her rage into the driving rhythm of the drums, Alex Molica capturing the simple and barbaric ways of playing the guitar, and Jared Coyle who ties it all together with the resemblance of a freight train on the Bass guitar. With each of their shows they bring the raw nature of T-rex's love child, late night drinking, broken hearts and liberation from anything that imprisons your soul.

Musical Family Tree - "Jimmy"
"Jimmy" bursts right out of the gate while "Til' the Day She Die" leans a little more on swagger but both tracks are compact little vibe delivery systems. Simple in structure but always ever casting baited hooks off into the dark waters of memories of sound and place. Birdsong's rattling slapbacked voice is scratched up by Molica's guitar and then pulsed straight through by the thunk-comma-thud-comma-thunk-comma-thud of the rhythm section. None of it is polite about asking to be played loudly.
Roctober - "Felt Up"
Too wicked and weird to be a bar band, too untethered to the past and convention to be a garage band, too dedicated to I Love Lucy to be indie, and too lucky to get Ben Lyon to do his best cover art ever to be ignored, these Bottles hit the brown note and the spread the flu bug and should be getting everybody soiled and sick soon if there’s any rock n roll justice in the world!
