the menzingers

The Philadelphia punk legends' multi-decade reputation as road warriors with an unbeatable catalogue is cemented as hard truth and their seventh album stands as their most immediate-sounding and energetic record to date.

The follow-up to 2019's sensational 'Hello Exile' accomplishes the daunting task of capturing THE MENZINGERS' distinctive live energy in the confines of the studio, resulting in a sound that's both rich, raw, and complementary to the group's increasingly prismatic songwriting approach. More than 15 years in, THE MENZINGERS are still holding their listeners square in the immediate present, and 'SOME OF IT WAS TRUE' documents that power in thrilling fashion. "We wanted to make a fun record and write songs that we wanted to play live, and that's exactly what we did," co-vocalist/guitarist Greg Barnett says "We've always said that we want every album to sound live, but we never recorded an album live before. This was the first time we committed to that idea. We wanted to sound like how our band sounds onstage.
