The Menzingers – On the Impossible Past
The third studio album from American punk band The Menzingers is released later this month through Epitaph on February 20th. Two singles have been made available by the band so far, the anthemic The Obituaries and the addictive Gates. Both singles are sharp, catchy punk songs that suggest that The Menzingers have honed their creative, but often chaotic style into a more simple and yet no less exciting format. Lyrically these tracks are as image laden as before, but the ease with which the band now unleashes massive sing-along choruses suggests that On The Impossible Past will be a very electrifying and powerful record.
Though a UK tour is most likely to occur in a support slot only, the band has announced a one-off headline show at the Fighting Cocks in Kingston.
Stay tuned for a full Rain Dog review when the album is released...

March
Sharks
2012 looks set to be the year of the Sharks. With debut single Arcane Effigies currently receiving frequent play on Radio 1, the band are currently on tour with Social D and Frank Turner in the States. A full headlining tour begins on March 25th in support of their first major LP with Rise Records No Gods, set for UK release a week before the tour. Make sure you catch the Lemington Spa four piece whilst you can, with their brand of DIY Punk drawing not over exaggerated comparisons to The Clash, and big names such as Mike Ness, Chuck Ragan and Brian Fallon amongst an ever increasing fan base.
