With the band using a Cramps-saluting title, Songs the Jukebox Taught Us, it would be easy to call its music "rockabilly" or "psychobilly" and move on. But the Hardknocks' fifth EP in two years injects more than a healthy dose of classic honky-tonk into the sound, so much so that it's totally fair to call this an actual honky-tonk band. It gets pretty twangy with Adam Stern's pedal steel guitar contributions and singer Andy Christ's baritone vocals. And the influence is present in the songs. The band drops two originals, but the remaining four songs are covers of masters of the honky-tonk genre — Hank Thompson, Hank Mills, Faron Young and Buck Owens. They're all artists you might skip over in the bargain record crate, but probably shouldn't. - Westword
