Thoughts:  "Ron Gallo" sounds like a porn star or a low level player in the Soprano family, but his music comes off more like a Jack White guitar ripping kid.  He's only got one real album, and the cover art is of a dude with a pizza face wearing sunglasses.  For the most part, his songs don't have streams.  The one that struck me the most ("Why Do You Have Kids," which includes a line about cigarette ashes falling into the baby carriage and "accidents having accidents") has less than a thousand spins on Spotify. Sounds better than that to me.

Peep that afro!  PORN STAR LEVEL HAIR!  Classic sounding little trio jamming loose in the studio.

But that one album, 2014's Ronny, is nothing like the Jack White fire guitar action that you'll hear on his Audiotree Live album or the other live EP he has on Spotify, both of those have a ton more fire than the full album.  The full album is kind of boring sounding, like that Kurt Vile guy from last year but with no excitement.  The live versions of these songs are hella better.  Luckily, it is his recent stuff that sounds better, so we should get treated to the better end of his spectrum.  The most popular track is "Young Lady, You're Scaring Me," which has only 22.9k streams on Spotify.

It's got no listens, but its kinda a tight ass rock and roll baller song.  This track is from the 2016 RG3 EP, which is why it is tight.  Baylor Heisman Trophy Winning QBs 4Eva, yo!  I'm actually writing this one long after work, and long after the enjoyment of multiple beers, including some terrifying quad that a friend gave me for my birthday that was like a half gallon of 12 percent alcohol beer.  So, although I've been listening to this dude for two super stressful days at work, I'm only now writing most of this, and it is hard to tell if it is this good or I am just this good.  Whatever.  I'm enjoying him.  If I'm at the fest super early on Friday, I might just go check it out.
