AVENUES - Straight Jacket

  


  Sometimes, all you want is to stumble across a good old fashioned, catchy as hell punk rock tune. This Is one of those...

  AVENUES (https://www.facebook.com/AvenuesMKE) are from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and they formed back in 2006. Towards the end of last year they released an album titled We're Doomed. I missed it then but am making up for lost time by listening (and enjoying a lot) as I type out these words.


 

  11 tracks of punk rock tuneage that's full of melody. It'll have you singing along but it has a little more bite than most pop punk. Strong backing vocals are the order of the day (Whoa....Whoa!). There's no great message being imparted, it's just a band writing fun anthems. It's available on cd and digital download...   https://avenuesrock.bandcamp.com/album/were-all-doomed

  I particularly enjoyed the portrait painted of a girl in a leather straight jacket robbing liquor stores and dancing to The Queers. This is Straight Jacket...
