Chuck Cleaver Shares Terrible Friend

Former Ass Ponys frontman Chuck Cleaver is prepping for the release of his new solo effort Send Aid, and with that, he’s got a new single to share out there. To me, this is like a barroom stomper; it’s got these two feuding guitar lines, one strumming while the other feeds noise to the listener’s ear. Chuck’s voice matches that juxtaposed vibe, forceful at times, while stretching to reach the more melodic tones throughout the verses; I like that after all this time he still has this fragility in his voice, the little sort of imperfections that turn listeners to fanatics. Send Aid will be out on July 19th via Shake It Records, with a tour up in the North East to follow.
