The Sleeveens - National Anthem (2026) [Hi-Res]

The Nashville-based band The Sleeveens, led by Irish musicians Stefan Murphy and James Mechan, has released its second album, "National Anthem." The record draws heavily from late-1970s punk rock traditions, blending the raw energy of acts like The Ramones and Stiff Little Fingers with power-pop sensibilities. The album showcases an expanded stylistic range, featuring minimalist krautrock-inspired tracks, political ballads, and high-adrenaline rock anthems. Characterized by emotional sincerity and a distinct Irish influence, "National Anthem" builds upon the band's signature punk intensity while diversifying its sonic palette.
