Luckily, I found all of their songs on BandCamp and decided to check them out. <em>The Chemicals Won\u2019t Balance<\/em> is their latest studio album. I\u2019m not sure how to exactly describe their sound \u2013 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 \u2013 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\u2026 even when dealing with serious issues. So hit up their BandCamp page, play the title song from <em>The Chemicals Won\u2019t Balance<\/em>, and tell me if it doesn\u2019t get your foot tapping. Trust me\u2026 you will be glad you did.<\/p>\n[2011 Independent | Listen\/Purchase: <a href=\"http:\/\/brandenmann.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-chemicals-wont-balance\" target=\"_blank\">BandCamp<\/a>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
