Review: Kings of midwestern emo return on their exceptional, devastating eighth full-length Some Of It Was True. Known for putting Scranton, Pennsylvania (home to the likes of Tigers Jaw, Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, Title Fight) on the map, The Menzingers have accomplished a relatively unique feat for artists of the emo/punk variety and that's staying together. Where most acts often have a brief lifespan in which they distil malaise and emotions of that slice of life, what happens when a group continue to remain together, writing, touring and growing over multiple decades? Musically refined to the point where the band sonically toe a line closer to the likes of The Gaslight Anthem and the realms of Bruce Springsteen-inspired Americana-punk, yet lyrically as brazen, dour, uncomfortable and honest as ever, The Menzingers are rare, living proof that an emo band can make it well into thirties/forties, but according to them, it still hasn't really gotten any better.
