Cult of Sue Todd

“On June 12th, four days after receiving the order for ’s first CD, Nothing Noteworthy Happened Today, singer Steven Perry was stabbed in the stomach and robbed of his wallet, spectacles, and backpack containing about 20 copies of the new CD. The thief is still “at large” and what’s worse, he has not contacted the band to let them know what he thinks of the CD.”

Ah, there’s nothing like rock and roll that contains a banjo. Although to be honest I can’t think of any other bands that use a banjo at all, and I certainly know of none that use one on a regular basis. Of course, I imagine there are a ton of people out there who know better and can rattle off bands that use a banjo, but it doesn’t matter. It’s uncommon, let’s just go with that. I fear I’m getting too hung up on the banjo here though. The nice folks in Cult of Sue Todd (no ‘The’) use a wide range of instruments, yet it’s the banjo that stands out the most.

I’m not really sure how else I can sell Cult of Sue Todd to you. Musically they are solid, but aren’t challenging in the least. Lyrically their songs are pretty much gibberish, yet they usually manage to bring a smile to my face. I think it’s the humour that appeals to me the most. The ‘history of the band’ detailed above just about sums them up, and when you’re this entertaining, it really doesn’t matter just how much sense your songs make.

Buy it at Insound!If you’re intrigued enough to explore more, you can find their CD going for ridiculously silly prices at both Insound and, as you can see from the box to the right, the sellers at Amazon too. You really can’t go wrong for that kind of price. Their new album, entitled ‘Kelsey Grammer Loves Us’ will be released in the spring. I’m sold on the title alone to be honest.
