Falling somewhere in that perfect gap between folk and punk rock, The Troubles Of A Handsome Man have found the perfect sound to match the story telling nature of their songs. Today we are bringing you the first play of their new single, ‘Caroline From Carolina’, which is the perfect introduction to those unfamiliar with the Californian band.
“This is the first song that my wife and I wrote together,’ explains vocalist/guitarist Cole Rambo. “It’s loosely based on an emotionally damaged intern that worked for her a long time ago. Sup Caroline. The song started off as a purely acoustic song but once Kyle & Clay (bass & violin) got involved it changed a lot and then when we recorded it with Sean Duncan, he helped us take it in a whole other direction. In the end I think we have an upbeat folky/punkish mutant song that’s relatable (if you’re into girls or boys with a lot of baggage).”
The track is taken from the bands forthcoming self-titled EP which is released on August 19th via Ronald Records, and is available to pre-order now.
