Today, Punknews is absolutely psyched to debut the new compilation by Mischief Brew!
Bacchanal 'n' Philadelphia is a remastered reissue of the band's formative releases, the Brew half of 2003's Bellingham & Philadelphia and 2004's Bakenal. But, whereas the band's recent outings have the band smashing it up electric-anarcho-style, the comp showcases just frontman Erik Petersen and a guitar. Yet whereas so many solo-guitar-guy records devolve into milquetoast blandness or Springsteen worship, Bacchanal 'n' Philadelphia exhibits Petersen as a master of melody, but he's not scared to flash those fangs every once in a while. There is also a song called "Roll Me Through the Gates of Hell" which is marvelous.
You can pre-order the vinyl version here and the CD version here. There's a record release show tonight and a few upcoming dates which you can see below. Meanwhile, stream the whole record right here, right now.
