Always passionate, at times profane, Sarah stalks/walks the line between vulnerable and menacing, their voice strong and uneasy, country classic but with contemporary, earthy tension. You can hear in their voice what theyve seen; world weary, lessons learnedor notbut always defiant. They level-steady mean what they say. Writing with a blunt urgencyso refreshing these days its almost startlingSarahs lyrics are in turn smart, funny, mean, and above all, uncompromising. The Disarmers hit all the sweet spots from Nashvilles Lower Broad to Bakersfield and take Sarahs unflinching tales out for some late-night kicks. At times, its as simple and muscular as Luther Perkins boom-chicka-boom, or as downtown as Johnny Thunders. The Disarmers keep in the pocket, tight and tough.
