Album Reviews

Despite having barely been around the block (Let Me Run started about a year and a half ago), these New Brunswick, NJ boys already have a full-length prepared. It’s called “Meet Me At The Bottom” and is out now on XOXO Records.

Eleven tracks of pure punkrock bliss that are heavily influenced by other New Jersey luminaries such as The Gaslight Anthem, The Bouncing Souls and The Ataris is what you get to hear on this album and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. All of the cuts are uptempo with the exception of “Here’s My Destroyer” which is as close as Let Me Run gets to a ballad. And with crunchy guitars, thumping basslines and vocalist Travis Omilian’s hoarse throat, it’s a pleasure to listen to tracks such as “Live Grenades” or “I Don’t Stomp, I Battle”.

If they add a little more variation on the next album, I don’t think there will be any stopping them.
