New Punch Brothers - “Punch Bowl”
When it comes to monikers, Chris Thile is like the P. Diddy of the bluegrass world. Since forming his new band after the 2006 break-up of Nickel Creek, Thile has watched his group’s name change three times. Formerly know as “The How to Grow a Band” and “The Tensions Mountain Boys,” Thile’s group has finally settled on the “Punch Brothers” and will release their debut album, Punch, on February 26. Punch includes four new tracks and the premiere recording of “The Blind Leaving the Blind” - Thile’s forty minute suite in four movements. “Punch Bowl” is the first track on the album and gives you a preview of what to expect from Punch Brothers’ style, which has been described as introducing “bluegrass instrumentation and spontaneity in the strictures of modern classical.”
