Heartache and Jack Daniel's.

Good sex, bad sex, guitars. Sweet love songs and dirty, chugging country tunes. The occasional bubble of self-pity blitzed by a nasty riff, and the odd spot of lechery justified by the fact that, well, we all get the horn - so why pretend? The New York Fund have all the soulful country rock'n'roll ingredients that have always been and will always be.

Singer Joe McAdam displays the cocky passion and gentle poetry that only a Glaswegian who thinks he should have grown up in the American South could have.

Jim on bass and Leo on drums drive the band like a rusty tractor with a Ferrari engine, and Adrian makes those of us who've ever tried and failed to learn guitar realise why we gave up.

As well as indulging in the obligatory rock pastimes of drinking, bowling and beard-growing, The New York Fund have spent a year priming their public at dozens of gigs around the UK (headlining, and supporting Ed Harcourt, M.Ward, Modest Mouse, Feeder, OK Go, The Frames and Captain).
