Review: The Weight - Are Men

Jul 15, 2008, 10:25pm Can You See the Sunset

Yeah, I've been waiting for what seems like a long fuckin' time for the follow up to The Weight's 2004 alt-country masterpiece Ten Mile Grace and now with Are Men it is finally here. Again anchored by Joseph Plunket's awesome whiskey-soaked drawl, The Weight goes more middle-of-the-road instead of bouncing from harder-edged rockers to acoustic tunes; Are Men is decidedly more measured but no less enthusiastic. Where Ten Mile Grace sounded like punks playing country music, Are Men has much more of a [...]

To give you a hint at what it sounds like, think Brooklyn guys playing country music - a la BEACHWOOD SPARKS, you know the kind of guys that have spent many, many hours listening to ' Sweethearts Of The Rodeo ', GRAM PARSONS' ' G.P. / Grievous Angel ', and [...]

Off The Record :: The Weight (Brooklyn, NY)

Jul 11, 2008, 11:00am An Aquarium Drunkard

Off The Record is a recurring feature, here on the Drunkard, that marries two of my greatest interests; music and travel. Having a locals perspective when visiting a new locale is the difference between experiencing it through the lens of a tourist and of that of a native. Off The Record gathers some of my [...]

THE WEIGHT - ARE MEN

Jun 24, 2008, 1:25pm Nine Bullets

When I first wrote about The Weight I described them as equal parts Drag The River and Lucero, but this time around that description no longer applies. While the band maintains the line-up of Joseph Plunket, Uncle Will Noland, Jay Ellis, Fletcher "Poor Boy" Johnson, and Johnny Carpenter, the 'punk kids making Americana music' framework has been dropped for a more classic 'country meets a good time' sound. Funny what a stable lineup of a couple of years will do to a band. Are Men is honest, pure and exactly what I was wanting from Shooter Jenning's mega-disappointment, [...]

Wind in the trees and sunshine on my face

May 13, 2007, 3:20pm Can You See the Sunset

A cool breeze in the air. The sun beaming down. Toys all over the floor. Baseball on the television. A cool drink within arms reach. Yes, it seems that summer is just about upon us and I couldn't be happier. Now have you ever wondered what a hazy lazy afternoon sounds like? Perhaps (at least in my world) it sounds something like this. Laid back but a little revved up. MP3 | Joseph Plunket & The Weight - Ships Ten Mile [...]

Introducing: The Weight

Jan 16, 2007, 9:53am Nine Bullets

Depressed punk kids playing country songs for those lonesome late-night drives. Apparent influence from classic American songwriters to certain late-'80's Minneapolis punk bands. "Punk attitude mixed with the passion and sincerity of country" -Status Magazine My wife hates Internet message boards. She thinks they're stupid and I spend to much time on them. She's probably correct on the latter, but I'll defend the usefulness of message boards until she figures it out. I have been turned on to some amazing music and have met some interesting, not always in a good [...]
