The Menzingers – From Exile LP Cheap

Philadelphia-based indie rockers, The Menzingers made great use of their free time during this summer s stay at home order by recording a re-imagined acoustic version of their brilliant 2019 album Hello Exile. Since forming as teenagers in 2006, The Menzingers have shown their strength as rough-and-tumble storytellers, turning out songs equally rooted in frenetic energy and lifelike detail. On From Exile, the band took their lyrical narrative to a whole new level and share their reflections on moments from the past and present: high-school hellraising, troubled relationships, aging and alcohol and political ennui. And while their songs often reveal certain painful truths, they ultimately maintain the irrepressible spirit that s always defined the band. These acoustic interpretations show once again how beautifully crafted these songs really are.
