New Brigade (2011)
I got this album fairly early into 2011 when I was just grabbing whatever looked interesting to hold me over till the albums I really was anticipating came out. While I enjoyed it enough on the first listen to keep it, I didn't revisit it very often, despite seeing it talked about later on. I even passed up the opportunity to see them when they came to town last year, which I am kicking myself in the ass for, because I honestly do not remember this album sounding this... intense. Now it's not intense like a metal album, but as far as post-punk goes, it's really up there with just this unrelenting "in-your-face" attitude that I find really welcoming right now.
