Big hooks, a strong sense of melody and anthemic choruses sung with a lot of heart and soul. That’s what you get with the new The Penske File record Half Glow. I guess The Menzingers, Pup, Spanish Love Songs are safe comparables to the sound of The Penske File, and honestly, I think they perform at that level on Half Glow. The Penske File fully deliver on a record that should satisfy the appetite of the org core, indie punk and punk rock crowd. Add the Ontario band to your list of reasons to be excited about the state of punk rock in 2023.
Half Glow is out now on Stomp Records.
