Beloved punk rock act The Menzingers are dropping a brand new album later this fall. The Philly foursome, consisting of vocalist/guitarist Greg Barnett, vocalist/guitarist Tom May, bassist Eric Keen, and drummer Joe Godino, have been making waves in the punk scene for the past 17 years.

Album Review: Gregor Barnett - Don’t Go Throwing Roses in my Grave

Don’t Go Throwing Roses In My Grave is the debut full length album out now on Epitaph Records from Gregor Barnett, who many know as vocals and guitar for The Menzingers, a punk rock band from Scranton, Pennsylvania. I have been a long time fan of The Menzingers, so I was very much excited when this album was announced. The first time I saw Barnett do anything solo was when he performed “Rodent” off of Rented World for Space Jam Sessions. I remember how incredible he was in that, so I knew we were in for a treat when he announced this album. Honestly, I’m surprised he hasn’t released a solo album sooner. However, the day has finally come. Don’t Go Throwing Roses in my Grave was produced by Will Yip, who also drummed on the record. Even though it's a solo album, all four members of The Menzingers were involved; Tom May took the photograph for the album cover, Eric Keen played bass and Joe Godino added percussion.

For long time fans of The Menzingers, I think you’re going to be very much into this record. Although it is a lot less punk and a lot more Americana than what you may be used to, there’s a level of comfort from hearing Barnett’s vocals that is just so soothing and wholesome. While he’s arguably written some of the best records in modern punk rock, this record feels like an introduction to Gregor Barnett in the absolute best way. The opening track, “Oh Lord, What Do You Know?” sets the tone for the rest of the record with the country-esque, Americana vibes. The second track, “Driving Through the Night”, is one of the best songs on this album. It’s a little bit more upbeat than the rest of the songs and more The Menzingers-esque. His vocals are so similar to something you’d hear on On the Impossible Past or Hello Exile. While it’s a more fast paced track than the others, it does not feel out of place on the album. Other great songs include “Talking to Your Tombstone”, “Hurry Me Down to Hades”, and the closing track, “Guest In Your House”. Overall, Don’t Go Throwing Roses In My Grave is a great debut album and I’m looking forward to what else Gregor Barnett releases in the future.

You can catch him on tour starting soon! More info here.

SHOW REVIEW/LIVE PHOTOS: The Menzingers

It was about a year ago that I really started to realize what a great band Philly natives, The Menzingers, are. I had heard some songs in passing from friends’ playlists or music streaming services. I had the pleasure of seeing them open for Bayside in the fall of 2016, and they were amazing. Following that show, I really delved deep into their musical catalogue. To my friends and I, their music is incredibly relatable. We’re all in the late 20’s and early 30’s group that grew up together on punk. Now, as we get older, we’re going through our own marriages, divorces, and trying to figure out what to do with our lives. The Menzingers’ newest full-length, After the Party, embodies this wholly.

  While it isn’t always easy to tour for what seems like years straight and have each show be a completely unique experience, they do a damn good job. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing them live three times this past year. Each show felt one-of-a-kind in its own right. The Menzingers are a well-polished, high-energy live band. With five full-length albums to choose songs from, they have some crowd favorites you’re likely to hear with some surprise sleeper hits sprinkled in. And, they pulled generously from their own catalog, while they also chose great covers to perform. 

This last show on July 26th at Frankie’s Inner-City in Toledo, Ohio, was more than worth the three hours it took to get there. The venue is a small dive bar on Main Street. It makes for incredibly intimate shows with no barrier to the stage which, itself, is only about two feet high. I had only been to Frankie’s one other time, but it’s a venue worth the drive. I knew seeing The Menzingers there would be a show to see.

Opening their 20-song setlist with “Your Wild Years” off of their newest album, the show started off with a kick! The venue was packed with a great crowd that knew and belted out every word. Despite being one of the smaller venues to draw bands like the Philadelphia natives, the people gathered to watch one of the better punk bands on the scene today was oddly courteous. The absence of a barrier seemed to be a non-issue for the fans. Being a big fan of the band, I was front and center in the pit and got some photos to accompany this review. However, I never once was shoved or pushed around as I snapped some shots and sang along.

About midway through the set, singers and guitarists Greg and Tom tried their hardest to guess the chords and words to “Comedown” by Bush. This is the type of thing you can expect to see at a show where the band is made up of four good friends all having a good time and putting their heart and soul into their music. It’s why I, among many others, find the band so relatable and approachable. To end, they finished their set with an encore of “Sun Hotel,” Bouncing Souls cover, “Kate is Great,” off of their split, Shocking, with the New Jersey punk band, and “In Remission.” Fortunately, I even saw their drummer, Joe Godino, outside after the show and had a quick chat. That’s the thing about these guys. They are an approachable group just playing music and meeting fans.

The Menzingers are continuing their seemingly endless touring into the fall, and I highly recommend checking them out if you haven’t. And, if you’re into punk music about the realities of growing up and getting your life together, you’ll fit right in. They’ve been on the scene for roughly eleven years, and going through their previous records, you’ll continuously find new favorite song after new favorite song. These guys know what they’re doing, and I already have my tickets to the next show. Hopefully you get the chance to check them out and see them play some great music.

Some power pop for your Wednesday.

The Cairo Gang, Hideout

Emmett Kelly is a very busy man. When we last caught up with The Cairo Gang frontman, he was working on or playing on a million records. Those have come out by now, but I bet he’s working on or playing on a million more as we speak. Tonight, he plays Cairo Gang songs solo at the Hideout. His last record was 2017′s Untouchable, so considering the pace at which he records, he should hopefully play new tunes tonight.

Local singer-songwriter Caroline Campbell opens.

Elvis Costello & The Imposters, Vic Theatre

He’s back already? After a strong performance at Riot Fest, Elvis Costello & The Imposters return to play mostly the same set but also some songs from their new record Look Now. Costello wrote and produced most of the album, his 30th, first in 5 years, and first in 10 years with The Imposters. It includes collaborations with Carole King and, more notably, Burt Bacharach, who leads the band on piano on the tracks to which he contributed. The album’s hit rate is mixed, definitely not the “uptown pop” record Costello promised. Notably, there are a fair number of ballads, ranging from classic Bacharach cheese (“Don’t Look Now”) to the slogging (“Stripping Papers”) to the actually simultaneously tender and wry (“Photographs Can Lie”, “He’s Given Me Things”). However, the uptempo songs are highlights. The strutting For Real cover “Unwanted Number” is catchy and radio ready, and “Mr. & Mrs. Hush” prominently features horn lines and backup singers; Costello belts the title characters’ nicknames like he’s crying them out, showing off the weathered, weary voice that has graced him with age and fully caught up with his ever-present old soul style of songwriting and observation.

The Menzingers & Tiny Moving Parts, Concord

The Menzingers have followed up their 2012 opus On the Impossible Past with two good, not great albums: 2014′s Rented World and last year’s After the Party. A taste of what might be next has come in two singles this year, the vocally melodic “Toy Soldier” ( “There’s so much to be sad about these days,” sings Greg Barnett, adding syllables to the final word as if to emphasize the amount of pure bummers) and slinky “The Freaks”, the latter’s loud-quiet-loud indie rock a new sound for the usually charging band.

We previewed Tiny Moving Parts’ show at Lincoln Hall in January, having not yet heard their just-to-be-released latest record Swell, skeptical it would be able to top Pleasant Living. The verdict: We were right. The synth-heavy album’s productions and arrangements are a bit bloated on the first couple tracks “Applause” and “Smooth It Out”. The best tracks, like “Caution”, ascend along with the guitar riffs and vocals, though that track and “Feel Alive”’s tempo changes are rendered a bit cheesy with quick guitar arpeggios transitioning the songs from one part to another--a tired emo/math rock trope. “Wildfire” is another good one, its quiet midsection splitting two sides of an anthem, while “Malfunction” also makes good use of space. With Dylan Mattheisen’s lead vocals and scream rising above the instrumentation in the verses, “Malfunction”’s got the urgency of some of La Dispute’s best material combined with Tiny Moving Parts’ slick instrumentation (though those flashy guitar arpeggios won’t go away).

Nashville grunge pop band Daddy Issues open.

Tenacious D, Riviera

In the middle of the first Tenacious D tour in 5 years is Post Apocalypto, an animated video series and new album from Jack Black and Kyle Gass. Surviving an atomic bomb, having to save the world, Dave Grohl on drums–the series and album has all of the goofy concept you expect from a Tenacious D album. Expect a theatrical show, wherein the band plays the album in full before delving into their hits.

Wynchester, the country band consisting of Kyle Gass Band vocalist Mike Bray and Tenacious D electric guitarist John Konesky, opens.

The Menzingers Announce ‘From Exile’

The Menzingers will release From Exile, a reimagined version of Hello Exile, on September 25th. A vinyl release will follow in November, and pre-orders are now up. Today they’ve shared the new versions of “Strawberry Mansion” and “High School Friend.” Philadelphia-based punk band, The Menzingers will release From Exile, a reimagined stripped down version of their 2019 release Hello Exile. From Exile was recorded from the band’s respective homes while in isolation during COVID-19 stay at home orders. The album will be released digitally on September 25 and on vinyl November 13. Fans can pre-order the vinyl now via the band’s webstore, here. Today, the band share “Strawberry Mansion” and “High School Friend” from the forthcoming release. The Menzingers were on tour in Australia when the world seemed to abruptly stop due to COVID-19, forcing the band to cut their tour short and make their way back to Philadelphia. “The live music industry vanished before our eyes, and just like that we were out of work like tens of millions of others,” notes singer/guitarists Greg Barnett. “As the weeks progressed the upcoming tours got rescheduled, then rescheduled again, then effectively cancelled. There were times when it all felt fatal. There’s no guide book on how to navigate being a working musician during a global pandemic, so we were left to make it up as we went along. We wanted to document and create in the moment, and though we couldn’t be in the same room together due to social distancing lockdowns, we got creative.” Over the next few months, the band would re-record Hello Exile from their separate locations. “We would track the songs from our own home studios, share the files via dropbox, and pray it all made sense when pieced back together. Initially, we planned for the album to be similar to our acoustic demo collection ‘On The Possible Past,’ but we quickly found out that this batch of songs benefited from more detailed arrangements,” adds Barnett. “We rewrote, and changed keys and melodies. We blended analog and digital instruments in ways we never had before. We dug through old lyric notebooks and added additional verses. We got our dear friend Kayleigh Goldsworthy to play violin on two songs. No idea was off limits. Hell, I even convinced the band to let me play harmonica on a song (no small feat!). The recording process ran from mid-March till June, and upon completion we sent it over to our dear friend and close collaborator Will Yip to mix and master.” Since forming as teenagers in 2006, The Menzingers have shown their strength as rough-and-tumble storytellers, turning out songs equally rooted in frenetic energy and lifelike detail. To date, the band has released six studio albums, with their most recent, Hello Exile, released October 2019. Produced by Will Yip (Mannequin Pussy, Quicksand), Hello Exile sees The Menzingers take their lyrical narrative to a whole new level and share their reflections on moments from the past and present: high-school hellraising, troubled relationships, aging and alcohol and political ennui. With the band achieving that soul-baring intimacy all throughout the album, Hello Exile emerges as The Menzingers’ most emotionally daring work to date with Fader calling the album “The Menzingers’ greatest statement on adulthood to date.” The Menzingers is singer/guitarists Greg Barnett and Tom May, bassist Eric Keen, and drummer Joe Godino. Track Listing * America (You're Freaking Me Out) (From Exile) * Anna (From Exile) * High School Friend (From Exile) * Last To Know (From Exile) * Strangers Forever (From Exile) * Hello Exile (From Exile) * Portland (From Exile) * Strain Your Memory (From Exile) * I Can't Stop Drinking (From Exile) * Strawberry Mansion (From Exile) * London Drugs (From Exile) * Farewell Youth (From Exile) --- Please consider becoming a member so we can keep bringing you stories like this one. ◎ https://chorus.fm/news/the-menzingers-announce-from-exile/

Shake Off the Turkey with the Menzingers at Brooklyn Steel on Friday

Greg Barnett (vocals and guitar), Tom May (vocals and guitar), Eric Keen (bass) and Joe Godino (drums) have been making ska-inflected punk music as the Menzingers (above, performing “The Obituaries”) ever since forming in Scranton, Pa., 12 years ago. They’ve since relocated to Philly but continue to win over fans and critics alike with their live shows and recorded work. The fifth Menzingers long-player, the much-heralded After the Party (stream it here), arrived in February last year, placing on many Best Album of 2017 lists. “Every single song on After the Party is a blast; the energy and passion already found in Greg Barnett and Tom May’s songwriting has hit critical fucking mass,” raved Sputnik Music. Not to be outdone, the Line of Best Fit went all in: “Stadium-sized drum fills. Strident guitar chords. Gargantuan riffs. With one simple refrain the Menzingers tear through the fanfare and cut straight to the heart of what we’re all chasing.” And with their fall tour soon coming to a close, the Menzingers play Brooklyn Steel on Friday night, with Minnesota family-band trio Tiny Moving Parts and Nashville, Tenn., three-piece Daddy Issues opening.
