Take standout track Sense Sensibility, which Sarcevic wrote about the growing problem of nationalist and racist political parties in his native Sweden. True Brew is the kind of album that sounds both timeless and modern, a record that could only come out of four adults who have been side by side since they were teenagers, who have weathered changing politics, shifting cultures and the rise and fall of all kinds of musical trends.

Its got punchy songs that go for as long as they need and that dont over stay their welcome; simple yet tight instrumentation; fun, catchy, well-written songs; massive, anthem-like choruses that are uplifting and euphoric; and a classic punk rock charm thats pretty fucking hard to deny or reject.
