I got to spend alot of time with the new album from 1990s over the weekend while driving to and from Bonnaroo. And I must say, it is one big party in CD form. The band hails from Glasgow but their sound is very reminiscent of early punk bands from both the US and overseas.

The lead man of 1990s is Jackie McKeown, formerly of the band Yummy Fur, which also boasted the likes of current Franz Ferdinand member Alex Kapranos. McKeown howls through the majority of this record like a man overdosing on serotonin. The band rips and roars through the album, with sounds that bring to mind the image of a beer drenched living room with all the furniture awry and wallpaper ripped from the walls.

The debut album from 1990s is out in stores now, you can check them out more at their website, but please do sample the excellent song below as well.
