Greg Antista and the Lonely Streets
Bastards & Broken Hearts
(Rum Bar Records)
When I speak of "maturity," it's not meant in a negative sense - not at all. The songcraft here yields the passion aflame in a kid's heart, yeah, but with the enrichment brought by years of accrued experiential wisdom. Punks grow up, even if thrashing and squalling. But that's okay, because guitars retain their brawniness and rhythms their urgency. And cards well played produce strutting of which teens can but dream.
(Not all tracks were available for review at presstime.)
