Background:
Punk group The Menzingers release their 5th LP this Friday, on the heels of some pretty damned consistent critical praise. If the singles are any indication, this will be one of their most explosive, passionate, and melodic releases to date. Already garnering a 4.3 average across 25 user ratings, After The Party is clearly Sputnikmusic’s most anticipated release this week. If you’re new to the party – pun intended – check out the album’s heartfelt title track below.
