mclusky knows you’re not going to run far in those shoes.

These Albini Sessions from Fugazi, a release from the band to benefit the late producer’s Letters Charity, is messing with my mind the way a transmission from an alternate timeline would. Elsewhere tonight: look at mclusky strutting around like they didn’t disappear for a couple decades.

Once a Ramone always a Ramone, one supposes, but this is closer to Southern California chug-core than gritty Queens punk. Nonetheless, a fun time.

Fast-forward punk, with the sort of edge that comes from the current DIY movement, and an unknown spice that makes the songs stand out from your standard barrage of fuzzed out chords and beats.
