hope for men
following on the heels of their monumental don’t need smoke to make myself disappear 7”, pissed jeans drop album number 2 and their sub pop debut: hope for men (we like to think of it in the “mankind” sense). for those who found a glimmer of the stuff on the aforementioned single (two pressings of which have sold out), the album delivers more, and in abundance. that is to say, if classic, thick-as-glue punk bombast and aussie sludge stoke the coals of your existence, you have found, not only your new favorite band, but a reason to get up in the morning.
since 2004 the jeans have spent many a night playing in their hometown, no-rules hellhole, allentown’s legendary jeff the pigeon (rip). their first single, “throbbing organ” and album, shallow (both on parts unknown) set many self-styled punk scholars’ hearts a-flutter. songs like “ugly twin” sent jaws floor-ward by including a plaintive piano part in a bruiser of a song. such touches abound on hope for men. the album is diverse, but the jeans ain’t no dilettantes. mixing volatility with humor is a damned hard thing to master in music. pissed jeans do it with smarts and poignancy. consider the bar raised.

bradley fry — guitar
