Chicago’s finest The Lawrence Arms are back with their third album on Fat Wreck Chords, and this time, you can forget about concept masterpieces

and stories that tell incredible adventures. On the band’s newest record you will get what the Lawrence Arms know how to do best: drunken stories

about friends, alchool, drinks, but also serious issues with a sick sense of humor. Musically, you can see how Brendan Kelly sings much more than in

the past (maybe his experience with his band The Falcon helped him to find out his vocal skills) while singer Chris still sings but much less. From the

point of view of the production, it is always tight, thanks to Matt Allison, and the greatest thing is how the band was able to develop a truly original

sound, reminiscent of Jawbreaker of Leatherface, but really original. The twelve songs on “Oh! Caluctta!” are fresh, fast pissed off and so honest

that you will have to appreciate them.
