I became aware of Braden Mann and the Reprimand through a YouTube video of them covering a Michael Knott song with a cool, organic, down-to-earth sound. Luckily, I found all of their songs on BandCamp and decided to check them out. The Chemicals Won’t Balance is their latest studio album. I’m not sure how to exactly describe their sound – but it has a rollicking, groovy sound that sets it apart from your typical folk music. They never really slow down or go too fast – they just hit that right speed for enjoying a fun batch of songs. Or should I say sarcastic or witty? There is a sly bit of humor and a wink of an eye to all of the lyrics… even when dealing with serious issues. So hit up their BandCamp page, play the title song from The Chemicals Won’t Balance, and tell me if it doesn’t get your foot tapping. Trust me… you will be glad you did.
