The Men - Ex-Dreams

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

“Ex-Dreams” by The Men // Open Your Heart (2012)

What better way to start your Friday (weekend) than with a blast of noisy punk from Brooklyn’s The Men. This is another track from their forthcoming album on Sacred Bones. It’s fast, melodic, noisy and could easily soundtrack your weekend’s more exciting moments and still have plenty of energy to spare. Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, but a must listen for fans of The Replacements, Rocket From the Crypt, and The Wrens.

The Men - Open Your Heart

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

“Open Your Heart” by The Men // Open Your Heart (2012)

Here’s a blast of that noisy, post punk infused power pop that keeps the blood flowing. The Men are back on Sacred Bones with a new album that’s less dark, foreboding, and more (as Pitchfork put it) Westerberg-ian. Fine be me! It’s been my desire lately to hear more of this - straight forward, well played throwback indie rock sounds, and The Men have pegged me dead bang. Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, but a must listen for fans of The Replacements, The Fresh & Onlys, and The Wrens (and maybe even a little Rocket from the Crypt).
