Never Had Less By Grafton

Q: What's up with Ohio?
A: Ohio, well... rocks. First it was The Black Keys, then Times New Viking, and El Jesus De Magico and Psychedelic Horseshit. And now Grafton.

A little about Grafton (a/k/a Lou Poster, Jason McKiernan, and Chris Burney): they sound like "a knife fight between Mudhoney and Mule officiated by a man with his leg in a beartrap." Rock!

Quick Aside: speaking of bear traps... what the fuck is this?

Downloadables:
"Never Had Less" (mp3)
"Run My Mouth" (mp3)
"Rise In Kind" (mp3)
"I've Been Lookin'" (mp3)
