Mixing the blues, folk and country traditions of John Lee Hooker, Hank Williams, Woody Guthrie and Johnny Cash with the spirit of politicized punk rock, Mason forges a sound all his own, at once incisive, ramshackle and timeless.

This music video was shot at the Santa Rosa Rural Cemetery. It has been used as a burial site since the mid-1850s, and consists of four parts: the rural cemetery, the Fulkerson cemetery, the Moke Cemetery and the Stanley cemetery. The Northeast section, owned by the county, is used to bury the remains of those who don't have the money for a private funeral. Separating this county section from the rest of the graves is a row of Asian graves, complete with various pictograms on the (sometimes wood, sometimes granite) headstones.

The Loved Ones are a rock n roll outfit based loosely out of Philadelphia. Born in late 2003 singer/guitarist Dave Hause and his fellow cohorts DC based bassist Michael "Spider" Cotterman and drummer Mike Sneeringer are deeply steeped in their hometown lineage having initially offered up their talents as players in Kid Dynamite, The Curse, Trial By Fire, and for a time Paint It Black; where Hause handled axeman duties before leaving to front The Loved Ones. So while the three-piece is definitely a departure from the members past endeavors, the punk sensibilities, and organic approach to playing still remain paramount. Owing as much to Bruce Springsteen as say Dillinger Four, the end result mixes killer riffs and raspy vocals to explosive ends. Expect big things, as heartfelt hometown sing-alongs simply don't get any better than this.
