The Forty Nineteens is a band that mixes the best elements
of college rock, garage rock, alt country, indie rock, and punk rock, resulting
in a record that is wicked fun to listen to.
No Expiration Date is equal
parts Daramarama, The Lazy Cowgirls, Two Cow Garage, Guided By Voices, and the
Ramones creating a sound that is as satisfying and fresh as it is familiar and
nostalgic—in other words this is a perfect rock ‘n’ roll record. This band is unabashed in their love of ‘80s
college rock and that is so refreshing to hear, but the best part about it is
how honest and heartfelt it is. These
songs could have easily come out during the heyday of the pre-Nirvana
alternative music scene and found a rightful place next to the likes of The Replacements,
Uncle Tupelo, and The Smithereens. At
the same time though they fit perfectly next to the ‘90s indie rock of
Superchunk and Pavements and the ‘90s/00s alt country of Drag the River and
Lucero; hell there’s not much that this record wouldn’t sound great or at home
next to. Seriously No Expiration Date is that freaking good. If you are a fan of any of the aforementioned
bands then I highly suggest checking
out The Forty Nineteens, you won’t be disappointed.
