Taste Test: Pete Gardiner polishes up the ‘Bourbon and the Truth’

Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones

Last year, folk singer-songwriter Pete Gardiner opened up about the world’s very “unhinged” feeling, moments before launching into “Bourbon and the Truth” at an intimate show. Now, he dresses up the venomous, political teardown with a bit of shimmering polish – but never sacrificing the rage that laces his lips. “My priest is shooting vodka with my psychiatric nurse / Music’s getting better, and my vision’s getting worse / Well, this place is getting dangerous / And then news reporter said, ‘If the marksman could have kept his nerve, I’d already be dead,'” he barks into a darkness further descending upon his shoulders. The political hellsphere continues rage, and right in the middle stands folks like Gardiner unafraid to speak the truth.
