Mannequin Pussy – Romantic

* Special order *

Sometimes a band makes the right album at the right time, and when you hear the raw emotion and rage that flies out of lead singer Marisa Dabices mouth on this hard-hitting punk rock album, you cant help but believe that coupled with the recent election and divisiveness of the country perhaps 2017 will be a new age for punk. In addition, this albumparticularly stands outwith the way it balances grinding punk rock guitar riffs with more melodic sections that constantly surprise the listener, making this blistering 17-minute album worthy of repeated listens.
