If you've ever visited Bristol before your probably aware of The Thekla but those who haven't, the venue itself is a boat situated on the harbour side in the centre of Bristol. It's unique, intimate and there's a maze of rooms to get lost in, also a bar upstairs and downstairs to help you find your sea legs...

Chuck Ragan seems to be finally figuring out how to blend his past into the direction he has been heading. The former frontman of the post-hardcore outfit Hot Water Music has released -- including this one -- four studio albums since going solo, but, while all being promising, they've all had something awkward about them. Mostly, they sounded exactly like what they were: an experienced punk rocker trying to force Americana...

I've always believed that you can measure the quality of an album by how many different things you think about that album being a potential soundtrack to.
"I can't wait to listen to this while I'm driving."
"I'm definitely gonna throw this on when I'm fixing up the porch."
"This would be great to listen to when we're fishing tomorrow...

Chuck Ragan's solo work has always been cathartic. His compositions have always been pretty bare-bones, letting his vocals and lyrics soar above all. This has worked for quite a while, but it seems, like his contemporary Frank Turner, that Chuck has decided he wants a fuller sound. Frank finally embraced the idea of evolving his sound to that of an actual band with , and Chuck has done the same on ...

Since 2007's Los Feliz, singer/songwriter Chuck Ragan has established a reputation for delivering intimate, lonesome tunes as a primarily acoustic troubadour -- even when backed by a band. Till Midnight is a rock & roll changeup. Here the singer/songwriter is backed by his longstanding backing group, the Camaraderie. He also gets some help from producer Christopher Thorn, Rami Jaffee, and a handful of backing vocalists...

It's a shame Chuck Ragan hasn't achieved the success of many of the people that were inspired by him. A punk rock mainstay in Hot Water Music and his work with the Revival Tour, Ragan's solo material has somehow slid under the radar. With , his fourth solo album, that all needs to change. Including longtime cohorts Jon Gaunt on fiddle and Joe Ginsburg on bass, the ten-song album is a triumph in folk rock Americana; having Social Distortion drummer David Hildago Jr...

Chuck Ragan spent more than a decade as the frontman of Gainesville post-hardcore outfit Hot Water Music, unleashing his emotionally charged bark alongside fellow vocalist Chris Wollard against a jagged punk rock backdrop. But even during the band's most intense hours -- like 1997's Fuel For The Hate Game -- Ragan has always harbored a gritty soulfulness that sounded as if it could have translated to earthier and more traditional rock songs...
