Reno Divorce is an amazing band. You don’t have to take my word for it, just check out their previous releases and be blown away. Unfortunately they haven’t had a lot of luck with their distribution in the past and as a result these Denver, CO by way of Orlando, FL natives are not nearly as big as they deserve to be. Hopefully that will all change now that they’ve found a new home with I Scream Records who have just dropped the band’s first album in six years, “Tears Before Breakfast”.
Album opener “Supercharger” immediately kicks things into gear and from there on out it’s gritty punkrock ‘n roll all the way. Yes, these dudes sound a lot like Social D but don’t call ‘em a copycat because they have a knack for writing catchy melodies which they then beef up. Girls are still the main subject here with cuts about the one responsible for blue balls (“All Show, No Go!”), the one you can never turn down (“I Won’t Say No”) and the one that got away (“How Long’s It Been?”). Original? Hardly. But fuck me, what a kickass album!
Score: 8.5 out of 10
