stream: the menzingers – sculptors & vandals [acoustic] (2012)

i’ve never posted about epitaph’s latest surprise, but the menzingers new album, on the impossible past, has found its way into my life. this rockin’ good time band is for fans of gaslight anthem and bouncing souls (do we have a type? i’d say so) and will definitely steal your hard, punx-upped heart with this acoustic rendition of “sculptors & vandals.”

anthony green is getting ready to release a solo album next week, under the album title beautiful things. among them is this song, as well as a slew of bonus songs that have pretty much piqued my anticipation for the release:

Soul for My Soul – Featuring Colin Frangicetto of Psychic Babble
Can’t Be Satisfied – Featuring Ida Maria
Only Love – Featuring Nate Ruess of fun.
Right Outside – Featuring Chino Moreno of Deftones

preorder the album here, before it drops on the 17th.

video: alabama shakes – boys and girls [live acoustic at wnrn] (2012)

[vodpod id=Video.15891563&w=425&h=350&fv=%26rel%3D0%26border%3D0%26]

in stark contrast to the wallop packing that the alabama shakes serve up on a daily basis, the soul band tried a little tenderness when they stopped by virginia’s wnrn studios and performed a bittersweet version of their song “boys and girls,” presumably off their upcoming debut lp. check it out above.
