May 14, 2017Although their intentions are good, their lack of finesse and creative drive within a massive sound resulted in a boring, underwhelming album. My Score: 93/180 (Deficient) = 5.2/10

Jan 30, 2017I have to be harsh here. As a huge DKM fan, this is just not good enough. Way too many mid-tempo, Bruce inspired gang vocal tunes that leave a lot to be inspired. "I Had a Hat", "First Class Loser" are the standouts. The rest are way too obvious or just way too boring.

Jan 18, 201711 Short Stories of Pain & Glory is all about our conviction, belief, the redemption we seek... and ultimately, triumph of the human spirit. Not a bad way to dropkick off the year.

Jan 17, 2017These 11 Short Stories of Pain & Glory are deliberate in their intent--uplifting numbers for swaying shoulder-to-shoulder with friends before emptying out of the bars onto the dark concrete of Lansdowne on a Friday (or Wednesday) night.
