A TRUE POWERHOUSE SHOW
Liquor Store - “Although originally described by listeners as “kind of underwhelming” and “a goddamned fucking trainwreck that’s what,” Liquor Store quickly found their sonic niche. They’d show up to a gig with as many as seven guitarists in addition to a bassist and drummer and fill up the stage with swingin’ meat and guitar feedback before launching into impossibly powerful punk epics with funny titles. Their shows have turned into the best party you can be at if you’re into things like drinking and attaining states of atavistic ecstasy. People writhe around on the floor in intoxicated glee, getting bruised up and feeling deliriously joyful. The last time I saw them someone started fighting a chair.” -Vice, 2010
Tin Foil - "You like late-era MINUTEMEN? You’re gonna like this a whole bunch, then. This album sounds like if D. Boon fronted MOLLY HATCHET. Jazzy drums, soaring guitars, and twangy vocals with tongues firmly placed in cheeks. We’re treated to a little bit of banjo action as well, which is a huge A+ in my book. This is the thinking-man’s punk, folks. Outside the box, unconventional, and catchy as hell. I adore this record. Possibly one of the best slabs I’ve heard in a very long time. Highly recommended." -Maximumrocknroll, 2025
