Product Review

2012 album from the Brooklyn-based Indie band. Originally touted as a '9/11 denier hoax,' the group went on to surprise even itself by losing its mind on its tragic-glorious 2011 European tour. Surviving members Kevin Mahon (Against Me!) and Blake Schwarzenbach (Jawbreaker, Jets to Brazil) went to Baltimore, Maryland, in late 2011/early 2012 to record this eponymous full-length with J. Robbins. The result is pure Caesar: a quasi-fascist Republic with power streaming from every administrative angle. The small nation-state plans to tour following the release of its album, in what it has called 'Dubai or Death.' Mortal Kombat fans take note, all others be seated.
