Description

Nine years after their last release (Resolve, their 2005 tribute to their late drummer Derrick Plourde), Lagwagon have emerged from the studio with Hang, an album the shows the band has a lot to say about the current state of affairs in the United States. It would seem that after nearly a decade without new material, Lagwagon have finally reached the end of their rope, focusing their discontent into their music in a way that harks back to a time when the genre felt like a vehicle for change. Right out of the gate, the band takes a shot at American conservatives, chastising them for hiding behind religion and wedge issues like abortion and gun control while the world is being slowly ripped apart by ecological disasters that are being willfully ignored.

Almost as beautifully as the way the band gets its message across is the album's construction, which creates a wonderful ebb and flow as the songs flow from one to the next with the kind of refinement that can only come from nearly 25 years together as a band. If Lagwagon were waiting for just the right moment to spring an album upon the world, they couldn't have picked a better time to do it, and the serious vibe and timely message of Hang make it an album that fans of the band (and punk in general) won't want to pass up.
