Album Reviews
There may be no alphorn in sight, but the hills sure are alive with the sound of music on The Snotty Cheekbones’ fourth album, out now on Monster Zero Records. ‘A Broken Nose And The Good Fight’ finds these guys dishing out 11 new songs that form a tasty smorgasbord (which is Swedish, not Swiss) of punk styles.
Opener ‘Dark Ages’ takes you back to 80’s Cali punk rock, while ‘Good Fight’ has a bit of Social D going on. ‘Holes In The Shoes’ sees them taking on the task of playing ska and not sucking, ‘Fuck’ is a song that Blag Dahlia hasn’t gotten round to writing yet and cuts like ‘Bullets’ and ‘Raise Your Glass’ sound like the Cheekbones own at least a couple of Lookout! Records releases.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
