Unrequited love and broken hearts, suicidal tendencies and feeling restless, junkies and drinkers, dreams and traumas, family and manslaughter - all of it themes, who’ve been waiting for 4 long years to be picked up again by One Bar Town. And finally, the fivepiece answered the call. Via their new, and fourth, album.
'Steal, Nick & Borrow' easily steer clear of all sentimental sentiments when dealing with the abovementioned rather serious issues. Instead One Bar Town have written the songs, you would also have expected from the likes of: R.E.M., The Cardigans or Wilco, on the lyrical subject matter.

One Bar Town doesn’t just stick to Country, Bluegrass or Rootsrock on their fourth album. While they always stayed to true to their roots on their previous albums: 'Power Of Principles' (2001), 'Say Me A Rosary' (2003) and 'Boy Scout Songs' (2004). On 'Steal, Nick & Borrow' they really stretch their musical boundaries. From captivating ballads ('Why I Don’t Drive The Van'), over hookdriven Rocksongs ('Smallish Victories'), to catchy folk tunes ('The MacDonald Route'). Elsewhere the poptinged 60s sound of 'My Suicide Note' reminds you of scenes from Robert Altmans’ cultmovie 'M*A*S*H' from 1970, and Johnny Mandel’s brilliant song 'Suicide Is Painless'. Big screen cinema so to speak!
