walkercadillac It's refreshing to hear such angst and hatred turned inwards instead of outwards for once. All set to a catchy tune with impeccable vocals, at that. Favorite track: I Just Wanna Die.

gusrupture Bought a 2nd copy so I can show my support. These songs are on a loop in my head many days while I do my daily slog at work. So hope MBW makes a full length. It is rare these days that any music reflects my mind set. This record has it in spades. Real rock n roll survives.

More than twenty-five years after releasing two widely acclaimed 7" eps legendary underground provocateur MAD BROTHER WARD returns with a two fisted blast of straight ahead punk rock. Originally championed in MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL and FLIPSIDE by the likes of Tim Yohannon, Jeff Bale and Bruce Roehrs as well as the scribes of countless fanzines, the under-underground cult following of Ward's hit and run style continues to resonate with collectors seeking out his early records.

Razorcake review: A true legend of the underground, Mad Brother Ward is currently known best for successfully stepping into the shoes of Joe Young in ANTiSEEN after Young died unexpectedly of a heart attack in 2014. Yet Mad Brother Ward had an interesting recorded output of his own back in the day, with legions of fans swearing by his unique take on classic punk. This single is his first new record in almost thirty years, and it does not disappoint. Both tracks are hits, and it’s going to be a damn shame if he doesn’t follow it up with a full-length in the near future. Pressed on beautiful blue vinyl with an etching on the B-side, the packaging is as deluxe as the songwriting, replete with a cool Mad Brother Ward sticker. Another example of the pandemic pushing an artist back into the fold; to call this return a welcome one is a gross understatement. –Art Ettinger
