SELF RELEASED
"You were right" can be hard words to spit out, but they are often delicious to hear, which makes the title of this local pop-punk group's release perfectly apt. While nothing revolutionary, The Means are clearly talented and highly-trained. And furthermore, for a self-release, the production of You Were Right is downright crisp. We're particular fans of "Rumours," which harkens us back to the days when a biting tune was the best "fuck you" to a recent ex. "You Know Who You Are" and "W. 32nd Ave." both run screaming from pop punk and straight into rock n' roll territory and we're happy to say we were pretty pleased with both tunes. One thing is clearly obvious with the seven-song EP, whoever is penning these tunes is still pretty hung up on something or, more likely, someone. And since we're pretty big fans of bitter, let's-just-cry-and-throw-a-pity-party music, you can bet we'll have this album on repeat. Having just dropped this album at their CD release party held at the Berkley Front on 11/17, we wholly suggest you support the local scene and pick this EP up straight away.
