Ah hell, just take a look and dance, dammit!
The Amboys - Worrisome // Live @ Asbury Lanes, NJ from Anthony Yebra on Vimeo.
The song you just fell in love with is called Worrisome and it is just one of many great ones on the band's most recent EP - Led Into the Woods. We were first introduced to the band when Popa's Tunes included another fine song from the EP Ashley Meets the Wolf on one of his incredible compilations. The song captured our attention and we grabbed the whole damn EP, and now we are about to go collect the whole set with includes another EP Mary Celeste and an album called Everything from the Moon to the Sun.
And yeah, in case you didn't notice, we're late with the Band of the Week, but you know what... well we are that's all. To all my Nashville Readers - The Amboys are a going to be at The Basement on March 11th. Sure to be a raucous good time - come prepared to dance and sweat.
The band mixes traditional folk instrumentation, a indie-punk vibe and a wicked sense of humor. The music they make is well - listen and watch and enjoy:

Old time folk music had a dark underbelly from it's early days. When The Violent Femmes put Country Death Song on the (imho) underrated second album - that band was adding to a long list of DARK folk murder songs. I mention that because the darkly sensual undertones of Led into the Woods brings that to mind.
I'd write more, but it's late and all... So go Like and Follow and all that good stuff.
