2001, Jealous Butcher
Hooks & Crutches introduces those very things
which have made Rally Boy a popular attraction
in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. With
catchy melodies, creative beats, and reflective
lyrics abounding, this CD is a break-out effort by
the foursome. Their first release on Jealous
Butcher, “I Got Dumped” b/w “Hot Diamond
Crush,” was praised by the press (Magnet
magazine called it “perfect”) and well-received
by fans of the band’s powerful live shows. Since
then, Rally Boy’s output has been limited to a
series of outstanding tracks on the Jealous
Butcher compilations Nailed To The Stars,
Aircheck, Chico, CA and
Compact.
Blessed with a well-honed pop sensibility and boundless energy, Rally Boy is easier to identify than classify-–with three songwriters and a wide range of influences, the band manages to distinguish themselves on every song. While Rally Boy’s songs will get stuck in your head instantly, further listening will reveal the craft and complexity behind the hummable melodies—think Beach Boys, Big Star, Yo La Tengo. Hooks & Crutches is a perfect introduction to a band whose potential has so far been barely tapped.
