Over the past decade and a half, the members of The Dirty Hits and Western Curses have been in a lot of punk rock bands based out of the Twin Cities; more than I want to list here. Showing that even the noisiest among us can get better with age rather than fade away, the two bands are releasing a split 7 inch together. They share traits that haven’t been given up over the years- they are still loud, energetic, melodic, and, well, probably a bit drunk. And as this record shows, they are now also adept at wailing guitars, thoughtful songwriting, and wonderfully nuanced lyrics.
