We have all heard that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but we do it from time to time anyway. I suspect that many of us have, from time to time, judged an album by its first song. If I were to take that approach after hearing “Coolsville USA” by Arizona trio TheExbats, I would declare the upcoming LP Now Where Were We to be a ‘must have’ album. I have listened to the single several times and considered my alternatives. I now declare the Now Where Were We to be a must have album. Smart, fun, and sassy with really good tunes — what more do you want?
The Exbats are a garage band from Southern Arizona consisting of Kenny McLain, Inez McLain and Bobby Carlson Jr.
