Fust: “Spangled”

Tracks
Written By Michael Gutierrez

Big Ugly is a town in West Virginia. And the photo on Fust’s album cover is a painting hanging at the Big Ugly Community Center. Which has a Google Business Rating of 4.1/5. Respectable. Expect big alt country sounds combined with rock n roll production on our highlighted track “Spangled.” A medium tempo wrangler about hard luck in and around the Shenandoah. Off the full-length LP Big Ugly. Via Dear Life Records.
