My Moustache...Still Strong.

I've considered over a dozen different songs as the first post back from the long break. I'm still pondering which one to use. Some great, newer HC song from Crime in Stereo or Dead Hearts? A great older track from Indecision? A wacky cover?
I really want to post a new song by the NJ band, The Milwaukees. My friend Chris is friends with them and pushed them upon me. We saw them at Trash Bar in Brooklyn a month or so ago and again at Lit on Friday night. Their old sound was kind of emo and, to me at least, a little ho-hum. They've turned up the rock 124% and are much stronger for it. They're fun, witty and rock the fuck out. One of the guys in the band passed Chris some shhh, secret, final mixes of their new stuff and they would be perfect for MMSE.
Well, that's a no-go. At least for a while. So, in my indifference, I'll post the title track from Comeback Kid's new album, Wake The Dead. It kicks monumental ass.
