Angry Zeta are an unlikely mix of punk, country and Hillbilly hoe-downs from the even more unlikely locale of Argentina! But rather than taking the usual mid-mannered, middle-class approach to folk or (eek!) world-music, these guys are intent on putting some genuine attitude and authenticity into their music, just the same way that The Pogues approached Irish music, or Kultur Shock approached Balkan culture. It’s not done in an affected or pretentious way, it’s done with a real love and joy for the songs and their words (even if you shouldn’t take them entirely seriously!) Like the Hickoids before them, this is music that’s here to be enjoyed. I could imagine these guys whipping-up a real storm onstage, but whether you get a chance to see them live or not, do your best to hear this album.
