Joey Corman: a strange pill to swallow. A mohawked solo singer from Texas playing Misfits covers and sweet-voiced pop punk originals in Midwest coffee houses. The Dead Pawns (tracks 11-20): Missourian punks (and a dreamy-voiced woman on a few tracks) with melodic but sometimes off-key delivery. Once you take all that in, there’s something earnest and very sincere here, even though I can’t really get with the music.
