24Pesos were founded by guitarist/singer/harp player Julian Burdock and bass player Silas Maitland who worked together with Geno Washington. Although the band hail from London, theres little else to give it away on this superb album when the styles and subject matters are so clearly American. Indeed its rare to hear such an impressive collection by a British artist of southern roots music as Busted Broken And Blue. The album is primarily the brainchild of Julian Burdock who composed the album, with Maitlands production and the quartet is completed by Moz Gamble on organ and Mike Connelly on drums who provide a raw groove as the band eases so comfortably between Blues, Gospel, soul, funk and hip hop. It commences with the story of Maxwell Street as Burdock sings of notable Blues greats over an infectious slide guitar riff. Never Saw The Devil by contrast has a sprightly Freddie King feel before the Blues stomp of Waiting At The Station with a superb blend of slide and harmonica. They do slow it down occasionally, notably on the acoustic ballad Somebody Else and the haunting slow and bluesy Night Becomes Day with poignant organ play from Gamble. The bands dedication is revealed through Live My Life To Sing The Blues and Burdocks dobro playing comes to the fore on the aptly titled Lowdown Sweet and Dirty. The band describes the album as an upbeat antidote to the doom and gloom of recession-hit Britain, yet it is so much more. This is a very strong, coherent release and well worth tracking down. ~Duncan Beattie

When The Ship Goes Down is the bands latest release on Ourgate records/Cadiz music. Produced by bassist Silas Maitland the album expands on the themes of their earlier release Busted Broken and Blue and is very much a crossover Blues album. The band recorded eighteen tracks over two days in London’s Perry Vale studios. All tracks were recorded live to capture the real band sound, spontaneity, excitement and vibe. The tracks were then developed in the band’s own studio. “We really worked on the arrangements for this record. Looking for a gnarly groove and grind, real songs and a sound that is unique, original unmistakably 24Pesos.” Eighteen tracks were pared down to eleven. “Having tracks to spare meant that we were able to produce an album that we are really proud of from start to finish.”
Groovin, powerful, raw and rockin’. When The Ship Goes Down is the bands most complete release to date...
