This is The Brokedowns that all the nerds and drunks get down with: Jon brings the thunder,
Kris brings the laughs, Eric will inevitably be shirtless, and Mustafa keeps a mean beat and
rolls the spliffs. They take growly Midwest punk (à la D4, Lawrence Arms) and make it
heavier, angular, and a little Hot Snakes-y.
Laugh along with the song titles, sure, but these boys aren't fucking around when it comes to
social commentary. The Brokedowns know how to have a good time and they know how to
write punchy punk jams, but what they do best is smack you on the ass with their words. "Life
Is A Breeze" is an album for the party punks AND the smart punks.
