The Gateway District is a pop-punk supergroup from Minneapolis that features current or ex-members of notable bands like (The Soviettes, The Salteens, Banner Pilot, Dear Landlord, Off With Their Heads, Rivethead, and American Monsters). Did you just shit your pants? Don’t worry, I understand, my 4 month old daughter does the same thing. So, yeah, on The Gateway District’s recently released album, Some Days You Get The Thunder, the band burns through 13 songs of gruff but bouncy and melodic female-fronted Midwestern pop punk with a bit of unexpected country twang on 2 of the album’s final 3 songs. The vocals will certainly not appeal to everyone (I can only imagine how much whiskey and how many cigarettes these ladies have consumed) but other than that, it really is hard to find fault with much (if anything) on Some Days You Get The Thunder. The record is out now on It’s Alive Records.
