The Lawrence Arms are a lot of things but predictable is not one of them. Since forming in Chicago in 1999, the trio have never broken up or become a nostalgia act, choosing instead to make albums that continually challenge the boundaries of their sound. In the process they have carved out a distinctive identity in the punk community that’s simultaneously gritty, beautiful, melodic and mutinous. Although it was written and recorded before the coronavirus upended the world, the band’s seventh full-length Skeleton Coast sounds eerily prescient as it imagines an apocalyptic future where coyotes croon and wolf packs roam free.
