Set for a June 29 release on the band's recently created label, Terrible Thrills, Steel Train is an infectious album, produced by Steven McDonald (Be Your Own Pet, Imperial Teen) that brilliantly showcases a new level of songwriting and musicianship only hinted at in the band's earlier work. Lead singer and songwriter Jack Antonoff says the album "is a return to where we come from. We grew up playing legion halls and firehouses and the sound systems were always so bad we had to go ape shit to put on a real show, and somehow that inspired the music and lyrics to reflect all that madness." Steel Train's blend of rock 'n roll, delivered with boundless energy, appeals to fans from all over the musical spectrum. The band's collection of songs has been praised by Rolling Stone, Spin, Entertainment Weekly, Relix, Esquire, Alternative Press and USA Today, among others, for its huge, exuberant hooks and galloping rhythms set off by a steady attack of guitars and yearning vocals.
