Perhaps the greatest punk group in America today - Now Wave Zine
More honest, true energy and heart than 90% of the bands Ive seen this year - Punk News
Milwaukee, WI's Modern Machines return with their 4th CD (after a string on cassette-only releases), first for Dirtnap, and it's easily their best one yet!
True pop smarts meets classsic upper midwestern punk inspiration filtered thru modern day basement punk sensibilities. Husker Du meets early Replacements meets early Lemonheads (remember when they were good?) meets Dillinger 4 meets The Figgs?
While these comparisons remain fairly apt, Take It, Somebody sees the band incorporating older and more diverse influences into their distinctive songwriting style, including 60's garage rock, and even a little Americana-esque twang.
Heartfelt, sincere, clever songwriting from one of the hardest working bands in punk rock, who, by the sound of things, are only beginning to hit their stride. Oh yeah, and it was recorded in a basement in Milwaukee for $200. What more could you possibly want?
