Hailing from Los Angeles, Brombones is an alternative rock band with a really unique twist, delivering music with a feel that is somewhere in between the most eclectic Beatles (think White Album era) and the grit and dark psychedelic approach of contemporary bands such as Queens Of The Stone Age and The Flaming Lips. The Californian four-piece set out to produce and release a cover version of  “The Sun Never Shines On The Poor” a tune that was originally written by British folk rockers Richard and Linda Thompson, released in 1975 on their album “Hokey Pokey”. The original song has got a folk-rock vibe to it, with a very interesting darkness, created by the lyrical content as well as by the melodic patterns. The song’s peculiar feel and eclectic nature make it a perfect ground for experimentation for a band with open views like Brombones, who set out to leave their own mark on the song. Guitars blinking an eye to garage-rock (single coil grit, dark, cavernous reverb tones) add a rough edge to the song, that does a great job driving the whole thing along with a vocal with an almost gypsy-like feel (Think Gogol Bordello) that really fit with the “circus folk” atmosphere Brombones create with this cover. It’s quite pointless to compare this version to the original: Both version have got something unique to offer - and in my opinion this is the point of cover songs: It’s damn interesting when an artist can take a song and re-interpret it, re-arrange it to their own taste, sensibility and even update it to the times. This doesn’t only showcase the creative potential of an artist, but also the lasting power of a well written song, still inspiring new generations of musicians after decades from its original release.
