Lagwagon: Railer 12″

Description

As the first band to sign to Fat Wreck Chords and the labels flagship since its inception, LAGWAGON helped define the musical focus of the label and the punk genre. With 8 full-length albums, a live record, a b-sides album, an EP, and too many singles to count; Lagwagons ability to consistently deliver the familiar sound theyve defined, while conveying something entirely novel with each album is unparalleled. Unlike the last few Lagwagon albums, Railer was written in an incredibly condensed period of time, in an attempt to capture the spirit of the bands early days. Songs like Stealing Light, Dangerous Animal and Dark Matter bristle with a raw, ragged and pure energy that harken back to the bands early daysunique for any band to have after almost 30 years of existence. At the same time, Railer accurately and honestly reflects who Lagwagon is in 2019, both lyrically and musically. Life has moved on in the three decades since Lagwagon started, but its not something the band has entirely left behind.
