Urban Barnyard — That's the Idea Buy it at Amazon
Casey Holford, I want to be your best friend. Or hell, I’ll settle for being a little closer to you so we can hang out, jam, or trade music and ideas. I’ve always thoroughly enjoyed Holford’s other offerings and I had no doubt that I’d like Urban Barnyard, a group in which he plays bass and sings. But I had no idea that I’d freakin’ want to marry the band! This all-too-quick rock EP is an album all about animals in the Big Apple with tunes about a macaque, rat, duck, pigeon, and manger. Fun, uplifting indie pop-rock tunes that you just want to share with your neighbor, strangers, and the world all at once. If tomorrow is a good day, I’m going to go on a drive with the windows rolled down blaring “That’s the Idea”. You should too.
