Discovery: My lovely friend Tyler was into this band, and for some reason I scoffed at him when he told me I should check them out. Boy, did I eat my shorts! Now they are not only one of my favourite bands to listen to and see live, but I may or may not have an AmSteel tattoo. Thanks Tyler!
Result: This album is very rough around the edges production-wise, but I love it. It reminds me of the happy punk rock times of my youth, and the raw feel to the record really fits the tunes. Don't be mistaken though, the songs are super catchy. I probably appreciate the more-polished sounds of AmSteel Round II more, but this record is still a great listen.
Stand-out Tracks: "Loaded Gun", "Every New Morning", "Whisky, Women, and Blackguarding"
