Jan 27, 2017Anything Could Happen effectively channels the best of what Tommy Stinson brought to the Replacements, and this unexpected Bash & Pop "reunion" has made an album just about as good--and every bit as much fun--as their minor classic from the '90s.
-
Jan 27, 2017While Stinson isn’t a great singer or songwriter, he exudes a scrappy persona that, like Keith Richards’, encompasses a heartfelt rock and roll strut.

Jan 27, 2017Stinson doesn’t try to be profound--he simply knocks out one greasy gem after another with an ease and grace that only comes from a combo of talent and experience.

MojoJun 27, 2017Here, solid collaborative vibes in the wake of all that life trauma make for rousing, edge-of-collapse rock action. [Aug 2017, p.89]

Jan 27, 2017In lieu of new Replacements, Anything Could Happen is a decent replacement.
-
Jan 31, 2017If mixtapes were still a thing, this title track would be the easy choice. The rest of the record is a mixed bag of semi-painful crass jokes and country rockers.
