I forget what rabbit hole I went down to discover Ford Madox Ford, but here I am.
Most likely, I discovered them through The Dils, which were powered by frontman Chip Kinman, the Southern California punk legend. After a decade-long absence from performing, Kinman decided to pursue full-blown blues punk with Ford Madox Ford.
The new band was largely a family affair, with Kinman's son, Dewey Peek, on guitar and brother, Tony Kinman, producing and writing the music. Ford Madox Ford also features bassist Matt Littell and drummer S. Scott Arguero.
Named (presumably) after a 19th-century novelist, poet, critic, and editor from England, Ford Madox Ford emerged on the scene with 2018's "This American Blues." This album is highlighted by the searing singles "Dark American Night," "Before the Fall," and "Let's Work Together."
This unique sound brings in elements of Americana in addition to punk and blues, making these iconic rockers worth a listen in a new configuration.
