The debut album from The Bottletop Millionaires, ‘The Strange Cargo Cult of the Bottletop Millionaires’, combines heartbreaking ballads with four to the floor rockers. From the aching regret of ‘I Don’t Go To Parties’ to the ceaseless anger of ‘This Engine’, the Bottletops introduce you to a world populated by bag ladies, pirates and dipsomaniacs that is sometimes joyful, sometimes poignant, but always life affirming.
The Bottletops make good old-fashioned music that is all about honesty and emotion, breaking hearts and stirring blood - Black and White Magazine
