| Album Rating: B+ |
Anticipation can make or break an album. As a friend once told me, “The best albums are the ones that you are not expecting.” This statement has held true in 2012, confirmed by the slew of disappointing releases from highly regarded artists. The good news, however, is that there will always be bands like Dartagnan, sporadically putting out 10-minute long punk EPs that make life suck a little less. Drawing influence from bands like Latterman and Iron Chic (“orgcore,” if you will),
Breadwinner consists of six tracks of gruff, anthemic punk that have the ability to console and appease listeners when releases from the big guns fail to do so.
