This is The Brokedowns that all the nerds and drunks get down with: Jon brings the thunder, Kri brings the laughs, Eric will inevitably be shirtless, and Mustafa keeps a mean beat and roll the spliffs. They take growly Midwest punk (a la D4, Lawrence Arms) and make it heavier, angular, and a little Hot Snakes-y. Laugh along with the song titles, sure, but these boys aren't fucking around when it comes to social commentary. The Brokedowns know how to have a good time and they know how to write punchy punk jams, but what they do best is smack you on the ass with their words. "Life Is a Breeze" is an album for the party punks AND the smart punks.
