Release Notes

"Ironically referred to by Timeout NY as "Thurston Moore & the
E Street Band," The Men have never been a band to play by
categorical punk sub-genre rules. Instead, over the last three
years, this band has dabbled in everything from hardcore punk
to psych to shoegaze to black metal; and they have done all of
it effortlessly, and for the most part, flawlessly. Totally
removed from the current climate of a.d.d-YouTube-blog-hyped
generation of musicians under 21, The Men stand out from the
pack as both scene elders and actual record collectors.

On Open Your Heart, the bands third full length, the NY
quartet explores twangy country, surfish riffs, psych, and just
about everything in between. Erring on the side of literal as
opposed to ironic, the song titles here (Oscillation,
Country Song, Ex-Dreams, etc.) blatantly celebrate the
bands you get what you pay for DIY aesthetic. Beyond their
genre defying writing experiments, some of the bands finest
singles to date are on this record; Open Your Heart, Please
Dont Go Away, and Candy all demonstrate a new pop
sensibility that previous albums only hinted at. With Open Your
Heart, The Men embrace what is truly their calling, and flower
into the fully diversified punk band their fans have always
championed them for being."

If you like it, buy it.
