PISSED JEANS

They (Pissed Jeans) are playing the Empty Bottle in Chicago on April 28th which I only mention cuz then band I am in (STNNNG) is playing as well.

We played together at the Bottle in 2008. Which was a long ass time ago.

i just saw that and put it on my calendar and also a reminder to buy tickets tomorrow. great lineup!

yesssssssss

what happens to the pastry in his pocket after the coffee is spilled?

"Sixty-Two Thousand Dollars in Debt" on repeat

The single made me a bit fearful, but the LP rules. Everywhere Is Bad is my highlight.

Saw someone raving about this new one , but haven't listened yet

Faster! Kinda Poison Idea sounding, but with their fine sense the torture of the mundane.

They've never had a bad album, but this new one is exceptionally good and might be my favorite since King of Jeans.

some of their fans don't like it because it's more "punk" than "noise rock" but I'm ok with that, I think it's great

i like the new album but nothing really jumps out at me as a particular highlight/something i would add to a "best of pissed jeans" playlist other than "junk time" which is the most noise rock song on the album. but i probably need to listen to it more, a lot of the songs zip by very quickly. i love PJ for having humor in their songs but "everywhere is bad" is maybe 10% too jokey for me, and i don't love the chorus.

anyone know who's doing backup vocals on "seatbelt alarm silencer"?

> "everywhere is bad" is maybe 10% too jokey

It's that way if I think about it too much, but when it just wheezes by it's great. "Junktime" is the best in their familiar way of oozing, but I love that they play a lot differently here overall. Agree that this is their best since King of Jeans.

Yeah "Junktime" is probably my favorite, but also love the breakneck punk ones.

That hanging chord halfway through Junktime is tremendous. Really love the lead work on this album.

bendy posting the way Pissed Jeans hammer in those noise riffs, respect.

Haha

Saw them play a lot of these songs live a week or so ago and they sounded excellent. "Junktime" was for sure the highlight but "Moving On' and "Killing All The Wrong People" sounded great too. "(Stolen) Catalytic Converter" is another highlight for me. Great album overall. Reminds me a bit of Hot Snakes more than their others. "Moving On" reminds me of "Plenty for All" a little bit.
