Butthole – Self-Titled

Back in January of 2016, I stumbled on the Soundcloud of a Nashville band calling themselves Butthole and offering a Secret EP of three songs. I was eager to hear the potential trainwreck of a band and not disappointed when it turned out they had some very promising chops within those three songs.

Now it seems that they’ve released their debut, self-titled, album and it’s goddamn delightful. The songs are catchy, the guitars are big and the lyrics are fun – particularly when spouting off about embarrassing childhood crushes on Wayne Brady. Look beyond the band name (it’s still funny to me) and embrace some music by a group obviously having a good time.
