Frank Iero & The Patience – “Keep The Coffins Coming” (BMG/Vagrant Records)
Keep The Coffins
Coming, the latest from Frank Iero & The Patience, or in this case
Frank Iero & The Patients, in light of their 2016 van crash while on tour in
Sydney, Australia, is meant as a bridge between his Stomachaches and Parachutes
albums. As if we needed a refresher course in the sheer spastic and
unpredictable punk rock Iero and the boys are capable of shelling out, Keep The Coffins Coming opens with Parachutes’ standout “I’m A Mess,”
before diving into the indie rock end of the pool on “BFF,” a rollicking
endeavor with some explosive tendencies thanks a mixture of fuzzy riffs and
sharp drum work filled with noisy cymbal crashes. Iero brings things right back
to the garage on the corrosive and scathing “No Fun Club,” a pure blast of
adrenaline straight to the heart that clocks in at only 1:34, before
transforming into a traveling troubadour on the dusty and wandering “You Are My
Sunshine,” trading in the song’s trademark wide-eyed optimism for something a
bit more sinister to close out Keep The
Coffins Coming, another home run release, even if it’s only four songs, a
few of which we’ve heard before. Regardless, the music world is a better place
when Frank Iero and the Patience are out there dropping records.
