“American Man is an exceptional first release by a band just emerging from the obscurity of a predictable scene. The musical influences across the 12 tracks of this album have something for every outsider. Populist lyrical themes of golden era folk-Americana are contrasted beautifully against the majestic rhythms of heavy metal and punk. There’s a bit of the longing of Hank Williams, in American Man, a bit of the lean and mischievous outlook of Waylon Jennings, there is heart and soul and passion, none the least there is courage. Like America itself, the Yawpers will be both intensely loved and loathed for their first label output, American Man.”
