Vinyl LP pressing. 2015 album by Swedish skate-punk quartet Millencolin,
their first album in seven years. Titled to reflect the tight bonds and
egalitarian politics that have kept the original band lineup in place
for over 20 years, True Brew is a return to the punk roots that inspired
the band's formation. Don't call it a throwback, though. While True
Brew musically draws upon some of Millencolin's earliest influences like
Bad Religion and NOFX through galloping drums and fast, technical
riffing, the album lyrically tackles modern sociopolitical issues in
ways the band never have before. Take standout track "Sense &
Sensibility," which Sarcevic wrote about the growing problem of
nationalist and racist political parties in his native Sweden but could
be applied to just about anywhere in the Western world. At the opposite
end of the spectrum, the album's title track is the kind of positive jam
fans have come to expect from Millencolin over the years with a message
that is universal.
---
Swedish punk outfit Millencolin's
presence in the U.S. is mostly relegated to a specific time, namely the
skatepunk scene of the late '90s/early 2000s, but the band has been
cranking out high-quality, Bad Religion-inspired pit anthems since the early '90s, and the Epitaph-issued True Brew,
their eighth studio album and first collection of new material in seven
years, is a near-perfect distillation of knee-scraping skate rock and
melodic, blue-collar punk-pop. In a genre saturated by nasally,
emo-heavy metalcore, it's a real joy to hear old-school, no-frills,
D.I.Y. punk rock done with such emotional evenhandedness and melodic
craftsmanship. It's political without being preachy, sentimental without
coming off as nostalgic, and ballsy without catering to the lowest
common denominator. Standout cuts like "Wall of Doubt," "Chameleon,"
"Something I Would Die For," and "Egocentric Man" satisfy through a
winning blend of precision, melody, and might. It's the same kind of
punchy yet not too over-produced approach that made Against Me!'s White Crosses' best moments really hit home, andMillencolin
are at their most dialed-in when they're digging in and gunning for the
big chorus, which they do throughout the album's just under half-hour
running time. With 23 years and now eight albums behind them, Millencolin are no doubt a tad older and wiser, but even bereft of any of that context, True Brew manages to sound refreshingly vital, which is more than can be said about many of their contemporaries. ~ James Christopher Monger, AllMusic
