Acoustic Appalachian Dysfunctional Folk Rock
AcousticAppalachianDysfunctionalFolkRock...from the dusty black coalfields of southwest Virginia, Foddershock is a collaboration between two long-time friends- one that writes strangely truthful and surreal lyrics about the often sordid details of the human condition, and one that puts it all together with a unique and perfectly twisted blend of American roots music. Songs about love, hate, life, death, drinkin, and killin. Sometimes tragic. Sometimes funny. Always interesting. Everything from guitar driven "Alt. Country" to "bluegrass" to a weird mix of banjos and walkie-talkies that can only be described as "southern banjer trance". Put John Prine, The Grateful Dead, Primus, and Camper Van Beethoven in a blender and you gotta a big ol glass of Foddershock. Drink up!

Lyrics
I ate a green brownie And I saw the Pope He was cleansing his spirit With soap on a rope He was at the colliseum Watchin' lions eat kids Takin' up for a bishop is a cardinal sin I ate a green brownie And I saw the Grinch He was high fivin' Barney On the low-water bridge He was laughin' at the children And bustin' balloons Real life ain't no puppet or a Christmas cartoon. I ate a green brownie And I saw the ghosts Of Malibu Barbie and G.I. Joe The model had wrinkles And the soldier was bald The girl went to piecs And the boy went A.W.O.L. I ate a green brownie And I saw the Lord He was haulin' Ponchius Pilate In a flat-bed Ford He was long in the tooth And short on luck Had a bloody bumper sticker Sayin' "Mean People Suck"
