Reviews Charges play the Highland Inn Fri., Nov. 12
Posted by Chad Radford @ChadRad on Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 11:10 AM
Each of these songs appeal to the working class stiff that lives in all of us, but there's more to it than three chords and shouting. These are songs crafted by men who have paid bills, lived life and been through some shit, and now they're laying it all down in song the only they know how. There's a measured approach to songwriting at work here that takes a broad view of worldly punk and boils it down to a layered, dynamic sound.
That said, Consequentialist Communiqué also has the unmistakable feel of being the group's first record. There's chemistry at work here, but it's still brewing. All signs point to something greater on the horizon.
For fans of the Stranglers, All Night Drug Prowling Wolves, Pogues and the Replacements.
$5. 8:30 p.m. Laertes and Gun Party open. The Highland Inn Ballroom Lounge. 644 North Highland Ave. 404-874-5756.
