Biography
Chicago's Indignant is "dead set" on delivering the "life-affirming" sounds of rock 'n' roll. If nothing else, the quintet is skilled in the art of biographical hyperbole. But it's this die-trying-to-live attitude that the group carries throughout their straightforward guitar-laced catalog. The hook-laden tunes on the band's second LP, The Good Fight, blend their hometown blues with down-home Midwestern aesthetics. Embracing all things Americana, the roots-rock revivalists riffle through sets of one hard-hitting bar-room anthem after another, splicing in the occasional stripped-down moody number such as "Lose These Blues" and "One for John Jameson." Two years on the heels of their debut full-length, What Is and What Was, the sophomore effort tweaks the framework of that early hard-driving release by scaling back the snarling vocals and upping the atmospherics, delivering another solid dose of heavy-handed yet engaging rhythm and blues.
