Lawrence Arms

“Apathy and Exhuaustion”

CD, Fat Records

This Chicago three-piece is one of those bands, that if you didn't know who they were, when they came through your town, you'd be like, "Whoa, where the hell have I been, how'd I miss these guys!" Powerful pop anthems with punk energy is their game and they do it precisely. Notice I used pop and punk, but not together, which to me means, they fall more in the J Church, Jawbreaker and Samiam arena. The guitarist and bassist share vocal duties and they both handle the job better than most.
