It's been over 3 or so years since Chicago band The Lawrence Arms released Oh!Calcutta! so as you can imagine, this was a great breath of new material for the fans. Buttsweat and Tears is the first "digital" release for the group, (they also released it on vinyl). This morning I grabbed my laptop and headed to Panera to use their free wi-fi to download this new gem while enjoying a tasty bagel and O.J.
The first song is Spit Shining S**t. It's very catchy, upbeat with some Oh!Calcutta! style. "The Slowest Drink At the Saddest Bar On The Snowiest Day in the Greatest City" is a fast song sung by Chris (opposed to Brendan singing the first one). "Demons" is defiantly my favourite song at the moment. It's got a little Falcon (Brendan & Neil's side project) in it as far as tempo is going and it's super catchy as well. If you're a fan of them, I'd pick it up. $3.99 for 5 songs are well worth it. Especially because I had an iTunes gift card left over. HA! I look forward to a new album in the hopeful near-future.
