well Looky here
Old Baby Mackerel play fast, knee-slapping bluegrass, mixing blistering solos, harmonies and raucous, over-the-top hillbilly antics that make you “yee-haw” harder than a nine pound hammer. Good old fashioned songs about whisky, murder, and railroads played at a 500 BPM with harmonies that make the Beach Boys sound like Eric Cartman.
