MILLENCOLIN 'Pennybridge Pioneers' LP

Millencolin's fourth album found them teaming up with Epitaph owner/producer Brett Gurewitz, a partnership that created a crisp, full-spectrum sound big enough to house Millencolin's intense, evocative music. While "Pennybridge Pioneers" doesn't abandon the band's trademark punch and fire, it does mark an evolution away from the upstroke guitar riffs and ska rhythms of the past. From the relentlessly driving opener, "No Cigar," to the cheeky ode to a motor scooter, "Fox," and ending with a simple, undeniably melancholy ballad, "Pennybridge Pioneers" is an extremely accomplished album.
