Lovingly pinched from The Sleeping Shaman: So, you’re in a pretty successful, kick ass band, you’ve released a bunch of awesome albums, toured the world then one day it all goes tits up. What do you do? Well, if you’re Erik Larson you head home to Richmond, Virginia, lick your wounds a while then hook up with a buddy in a similar situation (drummer Ryan Wolf from Face Down In Shit), form a kick ass band, hook up with the mighty Small Stone label, release an awesome album and hopefully tour the world some more!!!


Given Alabama Thunderpussy’s far reaching influence and Larson’s role as the creative hub of that band, comparisons between The Might Could and ATP will be inevitable…and not necessarily unfounded. This debut long player from The Might Could is heavier than a truck load of Jerry Springer worshipping, pizza munching couch potatoes yet at its heart has a soulful core that still keeps whistling Dixie. These guys continue in the tradition of mighty sludge fuelled riffs with a tasty Cajun coating and a lead guitar interplay that somehow manages to sound like an unholy jam between Skynyrd and Iron Maiden.

The opening one two punch of ‘Stone Colossus’ and ‘Wretched Wraith’ hits harder than Mike Tyson on a cocaine bender!!! Being good ol’ Southern boys, however the chance to go epic on our asses is never far away and on the 7 minute plus ‘The Night They Shoot Ol’ Dixie Down’ they invoke the Skynyrd spirit… if Skynyrd had been brought up listening to Black Flag!!!
