We recently mentioned the New York band The Men back when they dropped the song "Pearly Gates." It was the first song the increasingly versatile group released from their forthcoming album, Tomorrow's Hits. "Another Night" marks the release of another track from this forthcoming LP, and it shows the band being completely unafraid to capture that old time rock 'n' roll vibe. There are some feel-good horns wailing in the background, and that guitar riff has more miles on it than a '56 Buick. Enjoy!

The Men - "Pearly Gates"
New TracksCommentIf you can expect anything from New York's The Men, it's that you'll never know what to expect from them.
The band's discography thus far has been quite the trip, showing no limits in their ability to imitate the sounds of noise rock, post-hardcore, pop rock, and even country. In fact, their foray into that last genre made for my least favorite Men album thus far. That influence rings true in this new track of theirs as well, "Pearly Gates"; however, I think this fiery backwoods rock number is paying off big-time. It's like what would have happened if the punk movement had somehow preceded Southern, horn-backed bar rock. There's loads of guitar slingin', piano bangin', and horn squealin' to be had here. Pay close attention, and try not to miss a single second of the action!
