The Cashville Trash Pandas
Alt-country band, The Cashville Trash Pandas, releases their self-titled debut via Guitar One Records. The content and subject matter of the album are loud, raucous, and urgent, with political and socioeconomic currents.
The band is made up of Jubal Lee Young (vocals, guitar), Mike Carty (bass), Max Williams (guitar), and Chuck Sigler (drums).
Recorded and engineered by Jubal Lee Young, Chuck Sigler, and Mike Carty, the album was mixed by Andy Kern and mastered by Alex McCollough. Artwork by Jubal Lee Young with assets licensed from Adobe Stock.
Talking about the album, Young says, “After I released Squirrels in 2025, I felt like needed to go back to the source. To somewhere near the place where it all began: simple, catchy guitar rock, with something to say to authority, and a whole lot of raw, real, angsty energy. Somewhere within me is still about a 16-year-old kid, looking at the rigged deck and the bad deal being offered to him in life by a society run by old white men looking to exploit more resources before they die, and just thinking, ‘Fuck that!’”
Encompassing 12 tracks, entry points on the album include “Worker’s Song (Handful of Earth), with its gleaming, jangly guitars, heavy stomping rhythm, and intense vocals narrating lyrics about the moneyed elites riding roughshod over the working class.
A personal favorite because of its storyline and humor, “Sacrifice” hums with shimmering guitars as Young sings about how to handle all the billionaires and their greed: sacrifice one billionaire per year to an active volcano. The others would immediately begin giving away their money.
“Once a year is all it would take / And that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.”
Growling guitars riding a potent beat infuse “Fuck the AMA” with lots of muscular punk energy. A searing, snarling guitar solo adds forceful accents to the harmonics. The wonderful cowpunk sensation of “High As a Cat” catches the ears of listeners, pulling them into a raw, punchy sonic melee of a song.
“Chicken, Beer, and Atmosphere” might be the best track on the album because of its roiling, boiling country surfaces. The guitars are extra twangy, the rhythm pushes hard, and the melody works its way under your skin.
A country rocker, “Have Me Shot” grinds and barks on glinting buzzsaw guitars topped by raspy yet melodic harmonies. Whereas “People Like You” features a tasty, swaying melody that travels on a two-step-like rhythm.
With their debut album, The Cashville Trash Pandas deliver a raw, persuasive album dripping with neo-cowpunk and alt-country flavors.
