I professed my love for Hungary, it’s folk, the lovely city of Budapest, the Sziget Festival and many more aspects of that country many times. I’m pretty sure I did the same for the Muddy Roots Festival. For it is the best punk, billy and roots rock festival in the world! And when a band called Muddy Roots from Hungary releases an EP you can bet your ass we need to check it out and hope the twin shall meet. One day. When the stars align. When the dice give you two sixes or twenty-one. For the four tracks on the The Die Is Cast EP from the Muddy Roots trio deliver all that gritty heaviness across a definite roots and bluesy undercurrent. After their earlier incarnation called Burning Full Throttle had to take a pause once again, instead of twiddling their thumbs, they decided to go forth as a trio and call themselves Muddy Roots. Stoner touched, heavy on the fuzz and always evoking that feeling of freedom and hitting the road, gunning whatever beast you are driving towards the setting sun and the endless horizon. Bluesy and soulful guitar work, bourbon soaked vocals and drums that know how to speed up or kick back and leave the perfect amount of breathing room for the song to shine. The Die Is Cast, and it's a winner!
