Smith Street Band, The - Throw Me In The River [LP]

Throw Me in the River is the third studio album by Australian punk band The Smith Street Band, the album was released in October 2014. The Smith Street has fine-tuned their aggressive, folk-inflected pop-punk sound, emerging not with an intimate set, but rather something expansive and occasionally epic. Throw Me in the River feels less like a band looking inward and more like one fighting like hell to break free. It's another visceral and solid effort from this amped-up, literate combo.
