Back with the latest installment in their summer of hits, The New Brutarians are in full-on power ballad mode on "(Better Than The) Apocalypse." On this single, Adam T. is putting his love for The Dogs D'Amour on full display, and who's gonna complain about that? The track features the current New Bruts lineup (Adam T., Alan from The Juvenile Wrecks, Robbie Rist, Famous George, and Billy Summer), and it will get your glam rock juices flowing in a major way. Hot on the tails of the New Bruts having their Use Your Illusion moment on "Delinquent Things," "(Better Than The) Apocalypse" slows down the pace and highlights Adam's knack for gutsy, heart-on-sleeve poetry. He turns in a great vocal, and the musicianship on this track is truly top-notch. I can easily imagine big-haired teens slow-dancing to this track at the 1988 high school prom, but the sentiment of the song could not be more timely in 2025. In a better world, this tune would be all over the radio. You can always count on The New Brutarians to deliver the goods!
