Track Of The Day #830: Minorcan – Dead Body

Minorcan is the labor of love of Jacksonville native Ryan Anderson who, like all of those who grew up in the swamp coast that stretches from the panhandle to the Atlantic, has a permanent buzz of Tom Petty in the ears.  Now located in Asheville, NC,  Anderson fills out this band with his brother on drums and the anchor that is all things bass, Joe Terry, formerly of the Poison Control Center.  True American working-class rock and roll with crunchy guitars, strained vocal chords, dancing bass lines, and cymbal crashing drums, Minorcan channels the ghosts of Springsteen (sure he’s not dead, but it’s been ages since he was working class) and Westerburg (let’s be honest hasn’t written a song this good in a decade).  This is arena rock performed in the basements of America, pure and simple.  Self-released, DIY till they die, Minorcan are winning over fans one house show and art space at a time.
