The former front man of Johnny Hobo & the Freight Trains and Wingnut Dishwasher’s Union spent about a year in the desert & emerged with a new hope & a bunch of new friends who were holding instruments like a banjo, a violin, a saw & an accordion. This album is a story about the first year of sobriety, from the perspective of a punk and an anarchist, and the events that led to getting sober in the first place. A must for anyone who has followed Pat’s music over the years but also a good place to start if his work is new to you.

This full length delivers the impossible with eleven catchy pop songs that somehow manage to articulate the profound sadness of being in High School with remarkable and clever insight...without coming off as pretentious. An album that will help you drop out or at least realize how stupid everything around you really is. Imagine if the weakerthans, built to spill and bright eyes all dropped out of high-school, went to a southern Vermont wingnut party and woke up with a hangover and an 11 track recording the next day and you’d have a good idea of what to expect from MJTDP. This album seriously kicks ass.

After many years of misery, addiction, and nihilism Johnny Hobo & The Freight Trains finally burned to the ground. Now out of the ashes rises Wingnut Dishwasher’s Union. While Johnny Hobo songs made people want to shoot dope, WDU songs just might make you want to shoot a capitalist. On this album WDU performs most of the songs as a full on, electric punk band (including members of Endless Mike & The Beagle Club). There are still many moments of raw acoustic feeling to be found, while the new electric sound enhances instead of replacing what is already there, by co-existing side by side with singer Pat The Bunny and his bloody guitar strumming. Overall the lyrics offer hope and a desire for social change with Diy Anarchist politics woven into the entire album. Pat The Bunny uses words like “Anarchy” and “Freedom” and actually knows what he’s talking about. This is gutter rock at its finest!




If hip-hop is party music, then Ceschi Ramos’s third solo outing, The One Man Band Broke Up, is music for the saddest party in recorded human history. Revolving around the suicide of a musician and titular one-man band named Julius, the record forgoes any kind of linear narrative. Instead, Ramos pours most of his energy into isolating the emotional realities that pushed the protagonist toward his end — loneliness, frustration, and ultimately disillusionment with not only the music industry but the act of creation itself — and he hammers these with an unremitting intensity.

Sole’s second foray into “rap as journalism” is a diary of madness. This mixtape is folk rap in its truest sense…applying the Situationist “detournment” concept of “turning expressions of the capitalist system against itself” to hip hop by repurposing mainstream rap songs for anarchistic ends. His rap delivery flows as a stream-of-consciousness to the point of eschewing rhyming altogether at times (a style that has brought Sole much recognition in the underground/DIY hop hop community.) Add this style to his aggressive political commentary and a list of amazing guest (such as Ceschi, Kool A.D. from Das Racist, Time, K-The-I??? and Bluebird) and you have a rather bold hip hop album to make your mind question the capitalist system and your speakers bounce.

The second album by Pretend You’re Happy, The Great Joyful Rebellion is a roaring tale of an epic battle. It swells with an unfolding story, encompassing harsh guitar grindings and at times soft melodic voices. This album rises and falls like a slumbering beast caught in the wake of dreams and nightmares alike. Whether this is the story of life, creation, or the psychic future – one or many will find themselves caught in the midst of dinosaurs and the sonnets of horns.

With 13 people participating on this recording Pretend You’re Happy is a DIY orchestra of sorts-offering a bold and unique sound. When listening to this album the term “alternative” (in its rawest and truest form)comes to mind, meaning this album is a true alternative to what is out there today. Influences range from folk & sludge-metal to jazz & hardcore to rock & classical and beyond. The music itself maintains a steady stream of making sense with itself, while shifting between thickly layered to sparse, melodic to cacauphonic while combining strong & lullaby-esque vocals and harmonies. At times this album is a subtle soundtrack to this world and at others it is a crazy shattering of sounds blasting you into the next world-DON’T BE LEFT BEHIND, get your own copy now!
