Album Title: MIKE WATT + THE SECONDMEN In Quintessence (RSD 2020) In a world filled with manufactured pop stars and overproduced beats, MIKE WATT + THE SECONDMEN are here to remind us what real rock 'n' roll is all about.
Their latest offering, "In Quintessence," released exclusively for Record Store Day 2020, is a raw and unapologetic masterpiece that will have you headbanging from start to finish.
From the moment the blistering guitars kick in on the opening track, "Revolution Roulette," it's clear that this album means business.
Mike Watt's gravelly vocals cut through the mix like a chainsaw, delivering lyrics that are as insightful as they are poetic.
The Secondmen provide the perfect backdrop, laying down tight grooves and infectious hooks that will have you tapping your foot in no time.
Standout tracks include the anthemic "Heartbreak Hotel," which sees Watt lamenting lost love over a thunderous drumbeat, and the infectious "Soul Sucker," a punk-infused romp that showcases the band's undeniable chemistry.
But the real highlight of the album is the closing track, "In Quintessence," a sprawling epic that clocks in at over 10 minutes and sees the band pushing their sonic boundaries to new heights.
Overall, "In Quintessence" is a must-have for any fan of gritty, no-nonsense rock music.
MIKE WATT + THE SECONDMEN have delivered a tour de force that cements their status as one of the most exciting bands in the industry today.
Don't sleep on this album - it's a game-changer, plain and simple.
