band, album: Overnight Lows, City Of Rotten Eyes
label: Goner
for fans of: The Queers, The Germs, Circle Jerks

cd review: They've turned sucking into an art form. Overnight Lows makes the kind of music most people don't get. Your mom wont get it, neither will your 'cool' uncle - don't be fooled by that pony tail. But if your friends don't get it you need new friends. The concepts of clean chord changes, singing on key, and writing meaningful lyrics are completely foreign to this band, and they rock because of it. If you totally agree that there should be a chapter on Black Flag in every U.S. history book you'll like this disc, otherwise you might wanna check out tonight's episode of American Idol. I'm sure you'll find something there you'll like.
