Suburban Home to Release I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In the House’s “The Sounds of Dying”

Friends, I could not be more excited to announce that in June 2010, we will be releasing “The Sounds of Dying” by I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In the House. This will be their first album in over 3 years. For those of you who aren’t familiar with this band, I have been a huge fan of the Portland, Oregon, band for years. I actually didn’t start listening to them until after they had broken up and was bummed when I found out they weren’t really playing anymore. When the band were active, they shared the stage with Two Cow Garage, Drag the River, and a number of great acts touring pretty much everywhere. While it has been over 3 years since the band were active, the guys recently put the finishing touches on “The Sounds of Dying” which includes a number of songs that were recorded but never released along with a few brand new songs and a Two Cow Garage cover to boot. I still can’t believe that years after becoming a fan of the band, I will get the opportunity to release their first album back. While the band are not likely to be as active as they once were, they are planning dates to support the album including a possible appearance at Suburban Home’s 15th Anniversary Party in September.

If I had to describe the band’s sound, I would say that it is tough as nails Americana/Country featuring the gravelly voice of Michael Dean Damron and a thunderous rhythm section; while I have not yet seen them live, Two Cow Garage frontman, Micah Schnabel, said that they bring the thunder live and always forced Two Cow Garage to step up their own performances. Let’s just say that if you are a fan of Two Cow Garage and Drag the River, it is very likely that I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In the House will be one of your new favorite bands.

I highly recommend everything they have put out on In Music We Trust. I recommend checking out the few tunes on the band’s myspace page. And if you picked up Suburban Home Records’ Mixtape Volume 2, check out track 9 which is a track from the upcoming album.

We will be releasing “The Sounds of Dying” digitally, on vinyl, and on CD this summer in time for a number of dates they have planned in June. Until then, if you find yourself going out to any of the Chad Price/Micah Schnabel/Michael Dean Damron shows, go and give Michael Dean Damron a hi-five and welcome him into our little family.
