This is about confronting personal history. This song is about putting your emotions aside, forcing yourself into resposibility in order to just go on with your life. We're all familiar with losing pets and it hits pretty hard. It's about being angry about being aimless.Īdam had to put his dog to sleep. It's about waking up in your 30's and being pissed off about your shitty job and dead-end relationship. This is one of a few "quarter-life crisis" songs on the record. The Dead Kennedys were good at this subject. This song takes a swing at the "tough guy" culture that has always been a menace to the punk rock scene, which has been written about several times I'd say. The record serves as a follow up to their debut LP "All Around," which the band self-released in 2015 and later reissued through Orange Whip Records and Gunner Records. The new record expands on their established style, mixing the best elements of pop and rock 'n' roll with the ferocity and angst of hardcore, and punk rock. The rest of recording took place at Denver's Black in Bluhm, and Albuquerque's Empty House Studio. 'In The Parlance Of Our Times' was recorded with the help of All-American Rejects' guitarist Mike Kennerty who recorded the drum tracks at his home studio in Oklahoma. Russian Girlfriends’ new album ‘In The Parlance Of Our Times’ won't be out for two more days, but you can already listen to the whole thing right now while reading this track-by-track feature we did with the Albuquerque-based band.
