Animal Train is a super cool, super friendly punk band from Austin Texas. Really enjoyed seeing them live so when they asked me to review their EP I was stoked! It's on bandcamp and you can listen to it here.
The first thing that crosses my mind is I would really like to know the meaning behind the EP's title. The older I get the more I just wanna make money and in my money grubbing manner, "commercial" is the highest compliment I can give. I say "Your work looks very commercial." meaning they could possibly get some money there. I wrote about a post asking "Can you love punk and money at the same time?" here.
The music on this album is awesome. It's my favorite kind of punk, raw and aggressive rock and roll. Really strong vocals kinda like a punk Janis Joplin or something. The drums and guitars are played with precision but still chaotic enough to make the music fresh and exciting. What really stands out for me are the intelligent and positive lyrics talking about the importance of the D.I.Y. reality.
Def check this album out!
