The Menzingers w/ Special Guests Lucero

The MenzingersThe Menzingers w/ Special Guests Lucero and Queen of JeansThe Menzingers:At this point, the Menzingers are an absolute institution. The Philadelphia punk legends multi-decade reputation as road warriors with an unbeatable catalog is cemented as hard truthand their seventh album, Some Of It Was True, stands as their most immediate-sounding and energetic record to date. The follow-up to 2019s sensational Hello Exile accomplishes the daunting task of capturing the Menzingers distinctive live energy in the confines of the studio, resulting in a sound thats both rich, raw, and complementary to the groups increasingly prismatic songwriting approach. More than 15 years in, the Menzingers are still holding their listeners square in the immediate present, and Some Of It Was True documents that power in thrilling fashion.Some Of It Was True comes after the longest gap between Menzingers records to datea gestational period brought on by the Hello Exile-era tour schedules delays due to the COVID-19 tour industry shutdown. We werent really writing new music yet, Greg Barnett explains. We were talking about it, but we were honestly just happy to be out and touring again. The acoustic reworks of 2020s From Exile followed, as well as Barnetts solo record Dont Go Throwing Roses In My Grave from last year, which was when Some Of It Was True started to come together.Lucero:It would be difficult to find a band that is more self-aware than longtime touring band Lucero. Since forming in Memphis in the late 90s, Luceros base musical hallmarks have remained similar to the bands initial sound established with their first record The Attic Tapes. In the history of their expansive discography, Lucero has evolved and embraced everything from southern rock to Stax-inspired Memphis soul, whilst simultaneously maintaining their distinctive sonic foundations. Years later, dedicated fans of the group still flock to hear the bands punchy driving rhythms, punk-rooted guitar licks, and lyrics that evoke the whiskey drenched sentimentality of Americana singer-songwriters.For their twelfth record, Shouldve Learned by Now, Lucero drew on a lot of work from their past. Literally. By adapting songs and guitar parts that had been left over from the groups previous two albums, Lucero was able to construct one of its most comprehensive works to date.I had a particular sound I was looking for on each record and there was no room for any goofy rock Said primary lyricist and frontman, Ben Nichols. But now finally, it was time to revisit all of that stuff and get it out in the world. Thats how we got to the appropriately-for-us-titled album Shouldve Learned by Now. The album is basically about how we know we are fuckups and I guess we are ok with that.Queen of Jeans
