· If it ain’t broke, it ain’t the Motherfuckers.

After spending over a year as a bootleg disc, the new Motherfuckers CD has finally been unleashed upon the city. They must have taken pity on us poor schlubs, because this wasn’t supposed to have been released until 2008. As usual, the Motherfuckers are here to remind us of why we got into punk in the first place – to piss off our mothers and get a damn good hangover in the process. The band’s brand of sarcastic drunk-punk is turned up a notch on their newest offering, which is a definite improvement over their now out-of-print classic debut EP.

"Why can’t they be normal?" your parents will scream. "They’re not singing, they’re shouting!" At a time when most bands are concerned with appealing to the likes of the average record buyer, Classless Society is a welcome alternative. For those who are familiar with the band, you’re either gonna love this or hate it. If you like shitty beer, spitting on people and smelly Mohawks, this is up your alley. If you like drinking wine coolers and talking about your feelings while making out at indie-rock parties, you might want to skip this and get the newest Interpol release instead.

5/5
