April 28, 2015

Punk Revival

The Swedish punk outfit's presence in the U.S. is mostly relegated to a specific time, namely the skatepunk scene of the late '90s/early 2000s, but Millencolin has been cranking out high-quality, Bad Religion-inspired pit anthems since the early '90s, and the Epitaph-issued True Brew is a near-perfect distillation of knee-scraping skate rock and melodic, blue-collar punk-pop.
