I’ve always enjoyed Maximum Bob’s work and his new group the Stockyard Skinners continues his style of dark unorthodox rock. Amidst the profound roaring bellows and harmonized crooning, MB delivers thought provoking serenades weaving in bits of horror and humor into his lyricisms about uncomfortable truths in our post modern society. This song is primarily driven by heavy drums and bass that form a canvas for Maximum Bob’s deep guttural intonations that are complemented by guitarist Ryan Feliciano’s stylistic fingerwork. All in all a solid performance by Maximum Bob’s Stockyard Skinners. No quacks here, this duck gives “The Gates” 5 out of 5 tail feathers!!
