01.05.12 Black Them Boots
Website: BlackThemBoots.com
Label: Hear Me Think
Taking its name from a verse in a ring-play folk song, Black Them Boots was first formed by singer-songwriter Larry Corte and guitarist Pat MartÃn in the summer of 2006 in Costa Mesa. What started as a fun folk rock project quickly turned darker and harder after a series of personal tragedies for band members in 2007. Confined to his couch after a severe snowboarding accident, Larry spent months with only his guitar and a notebook. What resulted are songs where witty, sardonic lyrics lace their way through surprisingly playful melodies. And the music evolved, too. Inching away from its purely lighthearted roots, the staple stomp and twang was paired with more modern beats and driven, effected guitars for a unique blend of rock that is at once sweet and hard-hitting
