Sure, sludge-loving indie-ites Pissed Jeans revel like mini-Mudhoneys at the toes of grunge metal's gods, but there's more than flannel forming this band's frock. Rising from the drab, work-obsessed environs of Allentown, Pennsylvania, these perpetually sweat-stained punks raise equally steely paeans to bands like Black Flag, lending genuine violence to Gen-X-style slackertude. Ironically, the band's Sub Pop debut, Hope for Men, is a pretty big downer, a record rife with noisy growls, churning rhythms, and heavy guitar groans. Still, the album — like a Pissed Jeans live show — reminds us that the one true road to salvation drives smack-dab through a pit.
