"How could I pass up writing a blurb on a band named Uncle Dad & The Family Secret? Especially when the first thing I saw on their MySpace page was the quote, "We're a drinking band with a punk rock problem."
I actually caught this power trio a while back at an Open Mic at C.J.'s. They looked prepared to rock and they definitely did. I was particularly impressed with the drummer, Amanda, who also sat in with versatility, for a few other acts on the kit.
There are five tracks and a video clip on their site. Sadly the recording quality is a little rough. I only say this because I recognized a song I really liked, "She Never Showed Up," and remembered really digging it live.
While I understand there's a certain "nuance" to having some screaming/rough quality to punk lyrics, I know that Kyle can sing and it would have been nice to hear it. The video is worth checking out for guitarist Jake's impressive solo.
Uncle Dad has a few shows on the horizon. Add 'em to your friend's list and check 'em out live when you get a chance.
