Who knew all those years ago when he told us to “Jump Around” that House of Pain’s Everlast, aka Erik Schrody, would still be releasing music of such a high caliber as his forthcoming solo album, Whitey Ford’s House of Pain. Set for release on Friday, September 7, 2018 via his own label, Martyr-Inc Records, the raspy voice is there, the funky beats are there, the lyrics fans have come to expect are there, as well as the hillbilly guitar riffs that blend perfectly together.
Truly beaten the odds both in and outside the studio, Whitey Ford’s House of Pain marks Everlast’s seventh overall studio album, and first of all-new material since 2011’s Songs of the Ungrateful Living. A total of twelve songs, it all begins with a song called “One of Us.” Complete with a slow mellow groove and easy guitar progression, it tells the story of how good can go bad, how everything can become one ‘goddamn mess,’ and how it’s just the ‘nature of the game.’ A fitting start, Everlast’s voice meshes perfectly, both pitch-perfect and on-point, everyone listening will feel like this song was written for them specifically.
