Review:
With major support pouring out of the streets of their hometown, Austin, TX, Broken Gold has answered the call from devoted fans for an album with their debut full-length, Recovery Journal.Recovery Journal, deals with heartbreak, addiction, rebellion and life at home. At times, the album offers lyrics pulled directly from front man, Ian MacDougall's (guitarist for Riverboat Gamblers) own recovery journal that he kept following a traumatic bike accident in October of 2009. Throw in the styling of long-time friends, Patrick Lillard (bassist and previous member of Riverboat Gamblers) and Richard Cali (drums), and the result will rip through the heavy blare to grab your shoulders and shake you into submission.
