Album Review: Banquets - Top Button, Bottom Shelf
Following their split with Mayflower earlier this summer, Banquets continue to roll with the punches as they release their debut full-length album of catchy and anthemic punk rock. After a couple of EP’s and splits that unveiled flashes of promise (as well as a nod towards good cinematic taste with ‘This Is Our Concern, Dude’), ‘Top Button, Bottom Shelf’ certainly hits hard. Will Miller (Beartrap PR) was right when he pegged them as “a breath of fresh air in a crowded scene”.

As an avid Coen Brothers fan, seeing the title of Banquets debut release, 'This Is Our Concern, Dude', piqued my interest immediately. If you know film you get the reference, otherwise I recommend you see The Big Lebowski immediately after you check out this EP.It’s incredibly rare to get me excited with a mere ten minutes of new tunes on a 7-inch. But in search of quality over quantity, the potential displayed by Banquets on this debut has me already waiting in line for a full-length. They play a type of melodic punk with more melody than most in the genre. Think of the most recent effort from Against Me! or if The Gaslight Anthem existed in a world void of Bruce Springsteen. Banquets takes punk and makes it about as upbeat and melodic as possible without conjuring up the label of pop-punk. Members of Banquets have put time in with Let Me Run, Static Radio NJ and The Banner. With a pedigree like that it’s no surprise this EP is as good as it is.
