The Arrivals – Volatile Molotov

This album comes to us from Recess Records. This is not the bands first brush with putting out an album and it shows. These guys play in the same vein as Dillinger Four and Hüsker Dü. They manage to pull off the sounds but the songs left me wanting a bit more from them. The album was a good listen, but it was not super memorable. The songs lacked a certain energy and momentum that would make this a regular play in any rotation. Listen to the song streams and make up your own mind.
