Dillinger Four - Civil War - LP
Label: Fat Wreck Chords
Price: 22.99 Euro
After a seemingly infinite absence, the Midwest's most influential band, DILLINGER FOUR, have delivered their long-promised fourth proper full-length. The release of C I V I L W A R marks the end of an agonizing 6 year span that fans have endured since the last D4 studio album, and allays the speculations and rumors that have been bubbling just below the surface of the indie music scene for the past few years. No longer merely a tantalizing enticement ruminated over endlessly on message boards, C I V I L W A R is finally here and worth every second of the interminable wait. From the opening note of the first track it's blatantly apparent that the guys in D4 haven't lost a step. C I V I L W A R is littered with irresistible hooks, driven by a blast of raw sound, and accented by dueling lead vocals peppered with Erik and Paddy's shar p lyrical witticisms. Imagine equal parts drunken demolition derby and sweaty basement dance party, and that will start to give you a feel for the 13 brand new songs. Doubtlessly, C I V I L W A R will be met with the same critical acclaim that has become synonymous with D4's work. The band will be touring relentlessly through the end of 2009, kicked off by an East Coast Tour with NOFX that coincides with the release, and marked by appearances at CMJ and SXSW, as well as hitting Europe and Japan. DILLINGER FOUR will also be making their first ever video, which will be premiered as a feature on Myspace Music!
