Any band that once aimed to piss off the emo community (nothing against them as such, it could be anyone wearing a cardigan and crying) with songs about drinking and gambling is alright in our book. The Riverboat Gamblers also happen to rock pretty loudly and convincingly, as is their wont and ours. 2012 saw the release of The Wolf You Feed, their sixth album since 2001, with a vinyl release in 2013. These Texan thrashers sound formidable 16 years after their inception, showing that time, tide and trends may change, but dedication to your craft keeps you afloat and tearing through the waters.
