Constantines

Reviews are in about these guys already. Grandkids to the Boss. Hmm….well, maybe the Constantines should have been the back up band to Joe Strummer and the Constantines instead of the Mescaleros. It doesn’t hurt that lead singer Bryan Webb kinds of sounds like Joe Strummer. The new album is everything that their previous album attempted to achieve. THeir seems to be more control in the songwriting and the group has really put it together as a whole. The album is rollicking from beginning to end and their brand of art-punk does the Arts & Crafts label proud. The album Kensington Heights will be released April 15th. They will also be participating in some showcases and one that I know of for sure, which is going to be AWESOME!!!!!
