Definitely one of the newest, and quite possibly the freshest, most unique bands that Calgary Alberta has seen in quite some time..."A Cry of Hounds" is ready to infect your ears, your mind, your heart. This band has successfully captured the sounds of some great 60's garage punk with these songs. Based on 16 b-grade horror flicks with such titles as "Beast of Yucca Flats", "Teenage Zombies" and "Creature From the Haunted Sea", this music will bring a smile to your face and get your whole body grooving to the music! All 16 tunes are now captured on one glorious garage punk rave-up album called GARAGE MONSTERS.

Story behind the song

Near Hyde Park in Bayswater - at Marble Arch - once stood the Tyburn Tree - where various and sundry criminals and martyrs were executed. I know...I'm a little creepy for writing a song about it...

Lyrics

TYBURN TREE

I got no one
 I know my back’s against the wall
No one to hold me when I’m hangin’ by a thread
No one to catch me when I fall
Girl you will see me
At the Tyburn Tree

I walk up and down the park
And there ain’t no where I can hide
I look around me in the dark
Think I’ve been taken for a ride
There ain’t nothing left for me
At the Tyburn Tree

You cut me up
I’ll be in pieces ‘fore too long
You hang me out
I know who’s right I know you’re wrong
Oh darling can’t you see?
At the Tyburn Tree

You dig me up 
You leave me hanging all alone
You leave me howling at the moon
Why can’t you throw this dog a bone?
Have mercy on me
At the Tyburn Tree
