Conmen - Get Loose

Yeah! Conmen have finally made an album! Out now on Rock N Roll Disgrace, Get Loose is the Boston outfit's first new release since its debut 7" came out four years ago. This album is a massive treat for anyone who loves the pop side of old school punk. It's definitely "cleaner" sounding than Conmen's 7" and demo - but not in a bad way. This is just great back-to-basics fun three-chord punk. The songs are short, snappy, and catchy as hell. These guys summon the spirit of the early Ramones without coming off like strict copyists, while some tracks (particularly "You Were Dancing") lean more towards The Undertones. You know I ain't complaining! This is a really enjoyable record to throw on when you're in an upbeat mood or want to get into an upbeat mode. Clocking in at just under 23 minutes, these 11 tracks practically beg for repeat spins. This is yet another one of those records that will remind you why you fell in love with punk rock in the first place. I was starting to think Canada had a monopoly on bands like this, but it looks like Boston has staked its claim!
