Chicago’s Lawrence Arms are a gritty but clever punk rock three-piece that trace their beginnings back to 1999. Their involvement in bands and the punk scene goes back many years prior however, as the members were involved in Windy City mainstays Slapstick, The Broadways, and Baxter. The band takes it’s name from a run-down building the members resided in called the Lawrence Arms, which was located in a very lower-class area of uptown Chicago. For the record, they were eventually evicted from the place in the middle of the night.
Their latest album, Oh! Calcutta!, comes at a time when the stars have seemingly aligned and their presence is at an all-time high. Singer Brendan and his outspoken anti-Bush opinions have been all over TV this past year and he was even a feature interview on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He got off easy though and they only made fun of his tattoos. And you can have a look at any punk forum on the web and you’ll come to find that The Lawrence Arms are the subject of many a hotly-debated discussion regarding their relevance. But forget about the chatter on the internet, Alternative Press recently described them “One of the best honest-to-God punk-rock bands around today.” Things are indeed looking up for the boys, but let’s get historical…
After a couple releases on Asian Man Records, The Lawrence Arms chose to work with Fat Wreck Chords from among several interested labels and released Apathy and Exhaustion in early 2002. Their Fat Wreck debut was recorded after 13 months of constant touring and is an aptly-titled product of a band that endured every mishap and triumph of an arduous tour.

New EP is fucking epic, I was hoping I liked it but I'm still surprised how fucking awesome it is. Oh! Calcutta! came out 3 years ago but this band haven’t lost their edge. 10/10, 5 stars, ‘Buttsweat and Tears’ is the best release of 2009 bar nothing.

For me it'd be Oh Calcutta>Apathy & Exhaustion>Cocktails (if I can include it)>Greatest Story>Ghost Stories>Guided Tour. EP would be pretty high on that chart as well haha.

Hey, looks like the rest of the world seems to be in agreement with me that Slowest Drink is the best song on the EP.

mikeysoundtrack escribió:
btw i would put the Shady View split EP somewhere between Calcutta and Guided tour and chinkies split between the same spot (two splits next to each other)

@ Codename: just to set you straight: Greatest story>Oh Calcutta>Guided tour>Apathy & Exhaustion>Ghost stories. Just keepin it real, that's all.

I've never found the feeling with the band, but now I found it with the EP. Amazing!

Mycodenameis escribió:
Okay, let's be bold: Oh! Calcutta! > Ghost Stories > Apathy and Exhaustion > A Guided Tour of Chicago > The Greatest Story Ever Told. I won't put the new EP here because that wouldn't be fair, though if they were the first 5 tracks on a new album I would be seriously fucking impressed.

I've bought a lot of new music recently but the new EP is the best release this year, simply brilliant.

Meh. Like I wish Guided tour and Ghost Stories were combined into one album. Like best songs from both. I dunno.
