...And out come the wolves

Vince and I mostly share the same taste in music, but one of the genres we never get quite on the same page is punk rock. Todays menu consists of an oldie from Rancid, and some new, gritty but fresh stuff from Santa Cruz' favourite boys The Swingin' Utters.

First batter up is Rancid, though. Their biggest commercial success is also the name of this entry, released in 1995. "...And Out Come The Wolves" is considered one of the most important albums in punks mid-90's revival. The three biggest hits, and also singles, were Time Bomb, Ruby Soho and Roots Radical. None of them made the cut today, though. The one that did was the ska-flirt "Old Friend". And yes, I know Lars Fredriksen doesn't sing like a church choir.

I've been slacking the past year. Two of my old favourite bands from junior high dropped albums, Bad Religion did so in September last year, Swingin' Utters this April, and both of them blindsided me on an idle Tuesday while randomly browsing Spotify. I've got to get back in the loop. This is by far my favourite from SU's latest: "Lepers, Thieves And Whores".

Sommerferien er kommet. Frode avsluttet sin siste eksamen for senest 2 timer siden, og jeg her allerede på dag 11 av ferien. Vi prøver oss med en engelsk/norsk-split en stund nå, og ser hvordan det går. Hvis vi orker. Jeg holdt på å droppe den norske delen allerede i første innlegg. Det lover godt... Er dere blant de som forstår dette avsnittet har dere sikkert også forstått hva innlegget handler om. En gammel favoritt med nytt materiale og en litt perifer bekjent med gammelt materiale. Her er de som sagt. "Old Friend" og "Lepers, Thieves And Whores".
