The adolescent sound of '80s hardcore punk comes of age in Pissed Jeans' Honeys, transformed from raw and uncouth teenage aggression to tight and sophisticated hard-n-heavy rock. The group's latest LP on Sub Pop features dark and buzzy guitar hooks, heavy-as-fuck bass lines and sneering vocals yelled in despair. Sometimes sludgy with a heavy groove, sometimes ballistic and hysterical, Honeys represents a mature chronicle of our modern world's myriad founts of discontent, our sources of daily frustration, pain and anger. Be sure to blow off some steam to these pissed-off tunes on Thursday, April 18, at Empty Bottle, when Pissed Jeans will rip it up along with locals Fake Limbs and Blizzard Babies.
