Allegedly The Men don’t care much for labels, but so far they’d remained close to the punk arena – even the title track of their new record ‘Open Your Heart‘, if nothing as rough as what we found on their two previous albums, still races feverishly along the lines of an ‘Ever Fallen In Love’ with more angst, fast and deliciously enthusing. ‘Candy‘ though – which you can download for free below, courtesy of the band – is a different story. A laid-back twangy alt-country jam picked up only by its steady drumbeat, unfamiliar echoes and strange backing vocals merely reaching the surface; a sweet song it its own awkward right, confirming that the Brooklyn quartet isn’t intrinsically hostile. Just determined to stay away from any routine. The band will be setting off on tour at the start of September, from West Coast to Europe (check their blog for dates) with Buffalo, NY as a first stop back on US soil on November 8th
