Blabber 'n Smoke Blog: Two Cow Garage. Brand New Flag. At The Helm Records

Back when their 2016 album Brand New Flag was released, Two Cow Garage was among the "under the radar" bands that everyone wrote about but didn't seem to find their mainstream moment, which (to be far) most bands don't. Still, the band received international write-ups, like this one from Glasgow blog Blabber 'n Smoke with glowing praise. Here's a bit of it:

Brand New Flag is a raw album. It blasts from the speakers for most of the time. Churning melodies and amped up guitars hammer through many of the songs at times with the urgency of a Springsteen fist clencher, the clincher being Continental Distance which even has a Roy Bittan like piano break. This Little Light is a noirish account of a mugging and not a million miles away from Drive By Truckers territory while History Now could become an anthem for the Occupy movement as could the title song where they rail against the establishment singing, “I don’t believe in anything”. In addition they plant their feet firmly on the side of diversity with the life line described in the words of Let The Boys Be Girls, a defiant and proud refutation of “fitting in” as they dismiss God, schooling and military service with the defiant cry of, “we don’t need old white rich men to tell us who we can kiss goodnight”.
