Song of the Day - January 27, 2006

It must be the long winters in Minneapolis because the city has a history of producing great punk rock bands such as The Replacements, Husker Du, and the lesser known Suburbs. History does have a habit of repeating itself, and The Stnnng's Dignified Sissy is no exception. This is one of the best punk albums I have heard in a long time. The Stnnng combine the energy of The Dead Kennedys, the spastic rhythms of The Fall, and the rawness of Iggy Pop. "Self-Harm Is the New Rock and Roll" showcases the intensity of The Stnnng, with Jello Biafra style ranting and Fall influenced rhythms. Click here to listen.
