March 1 street date. Pissed Jeans has never been a band that goes halfway - they're known for their feral vocals, biting lyrics, buzzsaw guitars, and unhinged live shows, and their sixth album, "Half-Divorced", is no exception. These songs skewer the tension between youthful optimism and the sobering realities of adulthood, and when viewed through frontman Matt Korvette's scowl, everything takes on a level of violent absurdity. Pissed Jeans' notorious acerbic sense of humour remains sharper than ever as they dismember some of the joys that contemporary adult life has to offer, from helicopter parents to stolen catalytic converters, to being $62,000 in debt. Korvette, Brad Fry (guitar), Randy Huth (bass), and Sean McGuinness (drums) weren't in any rush to finish "Half-Divorced", which was recorded by Don Godwin at Tonal Park in Takoma Park, Maryland. This lack of restraint rages within the songs that unexpectedly veer into classic hardcore punk territory - often coming in at under two minutes long and erupting like the "butane tank explosion" Korvette sings about in "Junktime".
