DOWNLOAD: Connie Dungs - Earthbound for the Holiday

This is the third full-length released on Mutant Pop Records from Eastern Kentucky's most successful snotty pop punk band Connie Dungs. By this point, the Dungs were moving their style from sounding like the Ramones into Jawbreaker territory. There are plenty of three-chord hooks and clever lyrics. Holiday also features back-up vocals from Mass Giorgini of Squirtgun. Having experienced quite a bit of success in the region around Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia and Tennessee, the Connie Dungs also received plenty of praise in Maximumrocknroll, Flipside and Punk Planet over the years between 1995 to 2000. Brandon Tussey later went on to form the excellent A Radio With Guts.

Artist: Connie Dungs
Album: Earthbound for the Holiday

WATCH: The Apprentice covers "The Bed Intruder" song

When someone auto-tuned and remixed Antoine Dodson's on-camera anti-rapist rant into "The Bed Intuder" song, it went viral - 15 millions hits and counting. Soon the covers of the followed, including one from Ashland, Kentucky's Eric Delong, who plays in indie-folk-acoustic band The Apprentice. Cover songs are rare for Eric and The Apprentice, so this is a special treat and one of the more quality renditions of the infamous online hit. Enjoy.
