The Brokedowns "New Brains For Everyone" (Thick)
By Pete Mittler
Monday. May 21, 12:01 AM
Quick moving, ballsy, beer drinking punk rock.
My, how the Midwest is becoming the center of tough, sweaty, working class, straight forward punk rock... or maybe we always have been. The Brokedowns are no exception. In the vein of Dillinger Four, The Arrivals, The Lawrence Arms, etc., New Brains For Everyone is a quick moving, ballsy, beer drinking punk rock record with witty lyrics, big guitars, and memorable choruses like the title track. This is a real standout. More punk than pop, but still able to make you sing along. New Brains For Everyone rocks!
