We proudly present four of the best songs of Andre Ethier, ex Deadly Snakes frontman, put out in 2007 and 2009 only on CD on Blue Fog Recordings. This EP is an opportunity to give him the adoration he richly deserves and discover this great tunes. Andre released a split with the Oblivians in september on SCION/VICE series. Review from Dusted magazine: More people need to hear Andre Ethier, former Deadly Snake frontliner and current purveyor of songcraft well above and beyond any solo artist I can think of right now. If you've looked at this place before, you already have an idea of what I think about this guy and his skills. This EP collects a pair of songs from both of his past two CD-only albums, On Blue Fog and Born of Blue Fog, reminiscent of these great, glorious rock/blues metaphors that are too classy to be cool. Like, this guy is the next Warren Zevon, right' But Warren Zevon was the last Warren Zevon. DO YOU GET IT GUYS HE'S THAT GOOD, with a very sophisticated, adventurous, and ardently traditional way with arrangements, and the attention paid to these ones easily best most of the music that gets covered here, irrespective of genre. Barnbuster 'Pride of Egypt' is here, as is the oh-so-crafty 'Cop Killer' (a new folk hero, the vengeful woman who hides out at lefty protest rallies to murder law enforcement, it would seem), and the classy main riff of 'Infant King.' Removed from their original albums, these tracks have renewed power, and work to be one of the best showcases of this guy's talent to date. Most of his records are out of print, but steps are being taken to correct that. If you take away anything from this column, it's that you should listen to Andre's music. 500 copies. (Doug Mosurock)
