Pernice Brothers Back After Four Years Off

Goodbye, Killer is the first studio album since 2006 for Massachusetts band Pernice Brothers. Led by brothers Joe and Bob Pernice and collaborators James Walbourne and Ric Menck, the new album should appease music lovers of all kinds. With a wide variety of indie rock songs, Goodbye, Killer has a song for almost every mood and situation.

Upbeat pop songs like “The Great Depression” and “F---ing and Flowers” have a Beatle-esque sound with its vocal and guitar harmonies. More traditional rock and roll songs like “Jacquline Susann” and “Bechamel” incorporate catchy guitar riffs and lyrics that you will pick up quickly. Also in the album are a slew of indie rock songs like “We Love the Stage” and “Newport News.”

Not all songs on the album are upbeat, happy songs, however. “The Loving Kind” and “The End of Faith” will bring the mood in any room down a few notches. They do, however, add a nice contrast to the album, making it a versatile and encompassing piece of indie rock work. If you are looking for an album to listen to on just about any day of the week, be sure to pick up the Pernice Brother’s Goodbye, Killer.
