During this past SXSW, I witnessed my first Yapwers set. It left me a bit shaken but with a smile on my face. Purveyors of the greatest music video of all time, I shouldn’t have expected any less. Boy In A Well will be their second Bloodshot release, after 2015′s American Man.
Can't really describe what I saw with @theyawpers but I liked it; I think. @ The Continental Club https://t.co/cYJbp5m4nz

Someone stuck the label of psyschobilly on them and being that I can’t think of anything better, I’m going to go with it. It was recorded here in Chicago with help from none other than Tommy Stinson. Here’s a little more on the album – The Yawpers’ third album Boy in a Well is a sensational tragedy set in World War I France about a mother abandoning her unwanted newborn child. But, like the band itself, there’s so much more roiling beneath the surface.
