Jul 28, 2014Dereconstructed poses a challenge and stands defiant, and it works surprisingly well as the unexpected convergence of a number of long-running cultural traditions.

May 27, 2014Throughout the album, the guitars provide friction and rough-and-tumble tension, and there’s more of both in Mr. Bains’s words.
-
May 27, 2014With these songs, Bains surely wants to make you think; he surely will make you shake.

May 27, 2014Maybe the pace flags a little after a ferocious start--The Company Man is as pure a shot of adrenaline as a guitar band will release this year--but that's just a quibble about a terrific album.
