2011 was a year of change for Wade MacNeil. Alexisonfire announced their much-grieved (and short-lived) break-up, and MacNeil became the frontman for UK hardcore outfit Gallows. It was also the year his side project, Black Lungs, recorded their second full-length after the band's complete makeover following 2008's Send Flowers.
In the style of late-'70s British punk and mid-'80s hardcore, he and bandmates Phil Waring, George Clark and Pat Mathers rip through 12 original songs in 23 minutes, a high-octane mix of circle-pit starters ("Panic Attack"), raucous chant-alongs ("Dishonest Man") and fist-pumping floor-stompers ("Gimme Violence") plus a rocking cover of Gun Club's 1981 favourite "For the Love of Ivy."
