 October 2003 saw the release of Boxcar Satan's third long player "Upstanding and Indigent", again for DogFingers, expanding its already diverse sonic palette by ornamenting its noisy, post-punk take on pre-war blues with touches of Cajun music, gospel and even tasteful prog rock.Honing their songs with a newfound melodicism and complexity, the Boxcars spin tales of train-wreck lives, bandit queen Phoolan Devi and carnival freakshow stars.And their take on the Depression-era song "How Can a Poor Man Stand Such Times and Live?"
