Burden Brothers CD Release Party

Riding high on the crest of new single "Everybody Is Easy," Dallas' all-star cast of musical veterans drops a new disc, Mercy, an oddly named piece of work, as the disc shows none. It is a full-on, unapologetic sonic throwback, full of rock riffs and distort-o gee-tars and, of course, former Toadies frontman Todd Lewis' signature throat-ripping vocals. What else would you expect from a crew that worked Deep Ellum while you were still piddling in your Pull-Ups? And, more important, what more would you ask for?
