Broken Gold are an Austin-based band comprised of punkrock veterans (members of Riverboat Gamblers, The Kickz, Drakulas, A. Sinclair). Their new album Wild Eyes is out now on LP at Chicken Ranch Records. It is a raw and earnest indie rock record.
While not a conventionally talented singer, Ian MacDougall pours his heart out in these songs, and the gravel and sincerity in his voice signals many lives lived, giving the songs an anthemic feel and an emotional edge. Wild Eyes has a touch of americana here, a bit of heartland rock there, and a bit of mid to late career Replacements in between, but ultimately it is a rockin’ affair by a pretty cool band.
