Record Review:

Screws Get Loose

By Karl Ryballowski
EDITORniNnCHIEF

Tinosa Dailins is a fournpiece band from
tha Nashyiiia araa, deftly combining country,
punk, and an aiamant of ratro girlnpop to cren
ata crass, cuta and aiatramaiy catdny musicwith
a grungy Southern feel and a distinct garaga
aasthatic They’ve performed with tha iikas
ofThe Black i<ays, ion spancar, and Wanda
Jackson Oh, and thairnaw album,chewx Get
Loot a, wiii biow you away

Lat ma astabiish ona thing at tha outsat i
cannot stand most modarn country music
Giya ma a classic iika Emmyiou Hams, Patsy
ciina or Harry Mcciintock and i’m sat, but
somathing about tha popnmuntry ofthe iast
few dacadas gats on my naryas Mayba it’s tha
idaa of mullinmillionaixes singing abom thair
hard iiyas,but tha whoia affair iust strikas ma
as insincara i haya aiways ascnbad mora of a
grimy punk aasthaticto good country music,
and so whan i haard Tinosa Dailins dascribad
as “garagencountrynpunk,” iwas intriguad, and
tha rasuiting musicai axpioration mada ma feel
iika i hit tha iadcpot Now, it’s tima to gat back
ontopic tha aibum

Tina band airaady has ona raiaasa undar
thair bait, a sairtitiad dabut from 2009, that
skaws haayiiy toward tha country sound, tha
tunas somatimas felt a iittia rapatitiya, though
tha dnarm ofthe selfnaware country iyrics was
anough to kaap tha aibum strong with Screw:
Get Loose, however, the mix is more even, and
tha yariaty of sounds Tinosa Dailins expenn
mantwith kaaps things sounding fresh aii tha
way through Tina titia track, which op ans tha
aibum, sounds iika a lonfihomageto Phil Spear
(oinesque 60s giri pop, compiata with hammer
nias Tina naiat uad<,the unnmmantic “BeYoui
Bro," daiyas mora into punk tarntory, whiia
country twangs accantuatatha track Tina fastn
pacad “Hives” is mora ofa short, swaat power
pop numbar, whiia “Waste Away" qualifies as a
succinct country baiiad

It’s hard to find anything to disiika about
tha aibum For my part, it’sbeen on rapaat for
a coupia ofdays now, a rara occunanca will-in
out soma kind ofbreak Eyan it you ara highiy
skapticai of country music, though, tha genien
muaing ofScrw/x GetLooxe is dannitaiy worth a
iistan Tina catdny songs,withthairgrittyiyncai
dnarm, wiii maka it worth adding to youipein

tiow shower head could reduce your water usage by more than
30%,A typiaai shower head uses 5 to 5 gallons of water per minute,
however most iow tiow shower heads use around 2.5 gallons per
minute without reducing water pressure, A low tiow shower head
reduces both water usage as well as energy used to heat the water;
