Lead Sails Paper
Anchor,’ but blow my brains out the back of my head like it’s 2007, this one does not. It should be illegal for bands to use that ever-recycled rock riff that kicks off ‘
Untouchable.’ The believing-your-own-hype nature, fake-laughing screams and palm-mutes and dancey floor-tom beat combos make for some proper second-hand embarrassment. I’m also getting mixed messages:
Atreyu, are you an underrated band or are you an untouchable act? Make up your minds.
Moving right along, ‘
No Matter What’ reminds me of some of the best cuts from 2009’s ‘
Congregation Of The Damned’ just with some added electronics and production. (I’m pretty sure I’m one of ten people who rate that as one of the better

It’s another taste of Modest Mouse’s new album The Golden Casket.
Modest Mouse are streaming the next single from their seventh studio record ahead of its release on June 25th via Epic.
Like its predecessor We Are Between, Leave A Light On emerged out of sessions which took place between the band’s own studio in Portland, Oregon and in Los Angeles with producers Dave Sardy and Jacknife Lee.
They comprise the first LP from Modest Mouse since 2015’s Strangers To Ourselves, though the standalone single Poison The Well / I’m Still Here was released for Record Store Day in 2019.

45 Best Punk Albums of 2020
I think it goes without saying how insane of a year 2020 was, but there were things to be grateful for too, and one of those things is the incredible amount of great punk records that came out this year. Aside from the fact that so many of these albums had messages that resonated strongly this year, it was inspiring to see how the punk community came together during some of the toughest times, even in a year where we couldn t get together physically. Throughout the whole year, this vast community protested, amplified voices, launched fundraisers, and helped support so many people, and released a lot of great music in the process. I tried to narrow down the best of it to 45 albums and EPs, but it wasn t easy. Countless great records came out this year under the punk umbrella, and even stopping at 45 meant leaving out some great ones.
