​John Surge and the Haymakers (from the album Your Wonderful Life available on Twang City Records)
The “Ricochet” that opens the album comes from a double-shot of honky-tonk rock’n’roll for Your Wonderful Life, the recent release from John Surge and the Haymakers. The title track heads out on the highway with a road-tested rock’n’roll rhythm, John Surge and the Haymakers crushing “Your Wonderful Life” under the band’s cowboy boots as they put their collective foot down. Your Wonderful Life listens in on a car seat couple on a desert-driven ride when John Surge and KP Hawthorn cruise from “Barstow to Baker”. 
 
Guitar jangle welcomes “Heather Lee”, dreamy southwest Americana stretches over “Long Enough”, and acoustic strums set the stage for “Studio Apartment Blues”. John Surge and the Haymakers draw the line, holding tight with a potent backbeat for support in “One Promise at a Time”, shrugging on a bright country sway for the sad story in “Your Really Good (At Making Me Feel Bad)” and scratching a rhythm out with electric guitars poking sharp riff sticks into the tongue-in-cheek advertisement of “Gun Sale at the Church”.
