La Plebe is a band I would normally fall over myself liking, but that just ain’t the case. While their lyrics aren’t too bad and touch upon things more relevant than “Beer beer I like beer,” and they’re quite good on their instruments, the post-Rancid feel of the tunes relegates their efforts back into the gray din of generic modern “street punk” bands, and the inclusion of horns gives it all a Voodoo Glow Skulls sheen that just ain’t helping matters much. Is subject matter more important than music? Dunno, but I do know that no matter what, I probably won’t remember this at all within three days, and that’s a real bummer.
