THE DIPSOMANIACS Social Crutch (2009 FDR)
The Dipsomaniacs return in 2009 with a 10-song album of gritty,
garagey power pop - some rootsy rockers and a twangy
alt-country ballad. “Social Crutch”
features songs about band-saw wielding femme fatales,
drug dealing military brats, oversleeping corporate
executives named Sue, and college drop-outs turned gas
pumpers with alcoholic tendencies longing for a life on
the road as interstate truckers. All presented in the
Dipsomaniacs melodic sloppy/not sloppy Replacements
inspired power pop style. The usual stuff.
