Scud Mountain Boys – Do You Love The Sun

10 track album on CD and vinyl.

Do You Love the Sun is the first Scud Mountain Boys album since Sub Pop released the critically-acclaimed Massachusetts in 1996. For the legions of Scud Mountain Boys fans that have been holding out hope for a follow-up offering to the brilliant Massachusetts, Do You Love the Sun is a welcome ten track return from a band that has been away for too long.

The Scud Mountain Boys began simply as the Scuds in western Massachusetts’ Pioneer Valley in 1991. Back then the group played loud rock ‘n’ roll in local clubs and had an appreciable number of fans who would frequent their live shows. But after those shows ended, three members—Joe Pernice (vocals, acoustic and electric guitars), Stephen Desaulniers (vocals, acoustic guitar, piano, and bass), and Bruce Tull (electric guitar, lap steel, pedal steel)—would retreat to Bruce’s kitchen to unwind. There, late at night, the trio would break out their old country favorites, playing the songs they thought too quiet and too slow for live performances. The band found that these were the songs they really lived to play, so they decided to make a change. Adding ‘mountain boys’ to their name, the re-christened Scud Mountain Boys played their first show in 1993.
