Eric Boomhower – vocals, guitar Andy Abrahamson – guitar Jon Littlefield – bass Lisa Mullen – drums The Big Disappointments feature two ex-members of the Fall-esque Boston band The In Out in Eric Boomhower and Andy Abrahamson. Lisa Mullen (ex-Non Famous) and Tall Jon Littlefield join up on drums and bass respectively. On their new self-titled album the band captures edgy, cryptic, and sometimes political post-punk stylings. Slap-back delay on the vocals soar over angular guitars as the swing of the drums and bass move the fifteen songs along at a quick pace. Boomhower’s lyrics on “Deathbed Country”, “An Absolute Farmer” and “A Warhead” are rallying cries and feel like modern day protest songs. They fit nicely with the love letter “Chemicals” and the self-critical musings of “The Ugly Man”. Thalia Zedek (of Come, Uzi, and the current Thalia Zedek Band) co-produced the album with the band.
