I remember how much I liked Rancid’s “Give ‘Em the Boot” when I first heard it, many moons ago, and what I loved most about it was that it said so much without really trying to say anything. The same can be said for this release from The Ducky Boys; it’s really simple, up tempo melodic punk rock, and even though there’s not fancy musically, these guys really know how to come up with some sharp hooks. Speaking of Rancid, I was reminded of them on more than one occasion while listening to “Three Chords and the Truth.” I must be honest and admit that I haven’t bought a Rancid album since “…And Out Come the Wolves,” but I know them well enough to say these Ducky Boys are a less punk. More rock version of Rancid totally worth checking out!
