GIVE ME BACK: - Fuck a bunch of "intellectual property". So what if some lame indie rock outfit had this band name first. After a bunch of litigation threats, our Oregon crust-pop sweethearts officially changed their name to "The Drunken Boats" to swerve out of the way of a rabid zombie raccoon of a lawsuit that jumped in the path of their bike party. Fuck. This record is so sad, and so full of intense emotion and hope. I've sung these songs to myself for months, every one of them is both a reconciliation and a celebration, like when you are so happy you find yourself crying. (JB)
