Costalupes’s writing exudes an emotional immediacy. Redemption, regret, and self-reflection course through his hard-bitten roots rock, dredging up memories of the Gun Club’s Jeffrey Lee Pierce, Gram Parsons, and The Blasters’s Dave Alvin. This is shit-kicking heartbreak, interwoven with teardrop pedal steel guitars, twanging lead guitars, and folksy acoustic that achieve something of a gritty transcendence.
Night Spots are a rock 'n' roll band from Portland, Oregon.
