King of Jeans | Pissed Jeans

My review of King of Jeans, the latest Pissed Jeans record, ran today in the Boston Phoenix.

I’ve been listening to Mclusky Do Dallas a lot lately, lamenting that those guys decided to break up. It’s a great record, in fact, the first record I ever reviewed, and I love it so much because it’s filthy, aggressive, and loaded with a really wry, knowing sense of humor. Anyway, King of Jeans feels like it’s cut from the same cloth. Loud, obnoxious and incredibly funny in a weird way. It’s an excellent rock record, powerful and exciting.
