Guess what? There is actually a punk band in Minneapolis. Ha, I know! While you’re still recovering from your initial shock, I’m already listening to this album and am busy nodding and tapping along. The tapping is kinda hard though with my bum knee playing up again.
Anyway, Mall’d To Death is made up of a former Off With Their Heads member and Tyler Barrett, a reviewer from punknews.org and two other dudes. They do a pretty good job of playing poppunk while having a good time, all the time with tongue planted firmly in cheek. I mean what’s not to like about a line like ‘From DOA to RKL / DI to TSOL / He knows the letters well / But he don't know what they spell’ from the song “Young Man On A Downloading Spree”?
“Can’t Make A Living” won’t assure these guys of a steady monthly income but it’s worth checking out if you’re as heavily into poppunk as I am.
Score: 6 out of 10
