The Wretched Ones - Go To Work (Headache, 1996)

No, this ain't exactly new, but so fuckin' what, buzz boy. Twelve songs concerning various states of being overly drunk, overworked and over people's stupid shit. Explain the passage from "That's Why I Drink Beer" to the roving straight-edge preacher ("The bills just keep on rolling in/I'm getting thirsty, I take a sip"). Blast "I'm Just Doing My Job" at your next employee meeting ("My back hurts, my hands are sore/Only thirty-five years more"). Dedicate "Mind Your Own Business" to the old woman who thinks she's your mom ("Why don't you live your life/And stay the hell out of mine"). For fans of quality street punk or anyone who likes good, honest music in general.
