The Menzingers - From Exile (2020) Hi Res

Philadelphia-based indie rockers, THE MENZINGERS made great use of their free time during this summer's stay at home order by recording a "re-imagined " acoustic version of their brilliant 2019 album Hello Exile.

Since forming as teenagers in 2006, THE MENZINGERS has shown their strength as rough-and-tumble storytellers, turning out songs equally rooted in frenetic energy and lifelike detail. On From Exile, the band took their lyrical narrative to a whole new level and share their reflections on moments from the past and present: high-school hellraising, troubled relationships, aging and alcohol and political ennui. And while their songs often reveal certain painful truths, they ultimately maintain the irrepressible spirit that's always defined the band. These acoustic interpretations show once again how beautifully crafted these songs really are.
