Sinners Sunday is a guitar fueled modern rock album with heavy influence from the swing era of jazz, blues and early rock n' roll.

The album opens with Bottle Rocket Boogie. A track that blends swing and classic rock 'n roll with the attitude and swagger of Sinatra and the Rat Pack. The title of the album is pulled from a line in this song "straight to the top, gonna make it pop, a Sinners Sunday with a cherry on top."

The second track, Sligo Punch, is an upbeat number that also draws heavily form the genres of swing and rock n' roll. The title comes from a signature drink served at a bar in Somerville, Massachusetts (near the home studio where the album was recorded) that really packs a punch. The lyrics juxtapose scenes of violence with a band rocking the house. "Jiving with the band to the backbeat, jumping at the crack of the snare, I'll swing my fender axe, leave it buried in your back, rock n' roll you on down the stairs."

The third track, Grifters Blues, tells the story of a gambler and con man drifting across America in the 1930's. It has a slower groove and is a non traditional chord progression for a blues song, though it is unmistakably bluesy.

The fourth track, When She Smiles, is the one love song on the album and draws inspiration from early jazz standards, with the guitar solos and the crescendo of the organ bringing an edge to the song.

The fifth track, Peekaboo Boogie is a playful tongue in cheek number that tells the story of a peeping Tom getting more than a look. Similar to the first two tracks on the album, it draws from both swing and early rock n' roll.

The sixth track, Whistle Pig, is an instrumental with a laid back swing style groove setting the stage for dueling guitar solos, organ and yes... simulated pig noises.

The seventh track, Don't Tell Me is a blues forward rock n' roll number with subtle humor in its lyrical approach. Its about the "haves and the have nots" and is told through the point of view of a ragged character, let's call him Beansie, as he looks at his brother "drinking dry martinis served by exotic girls in polka dotted bikinis."

The eighth track, Coastline Drowning, is a bit of a departure from the rest of the album, but it works. It is a slow, acoustic song of love lost at sea. The song is highlighted with shimmering electric guitars along with beautiful violin parts provided by Tim Swanson.

The ninth track, Bad Joke is a slow rocker with some more modern jazz influences, that tells the story of a washed up rock star, likely a one hit wonder, trying to stay relevant. As with Don't Tell Me, the lyrical approach is humorous. "a couple groupies sitting on my lap, three more in the bedroom watching Spinal Tap, fast women, cocaine, whiskey and wine, too many good times got me going blind."

The tenth track, Steamroller, is by far the heaviest track, bordering on hard rock. It speaks of angst and betrayal over the types of crooks on Wall Street and in Washington who led us into a financial crisis.

The album closes with, Shuffle The Deck, a straight forward rocker with an uplifting feel and an infectious groove. "We gotta shuffle the deck, forget about the kings and the queens for a while, we gotta shuffle the deck until those jokers all are running wild!"
