NEW BOMB TURKS, “Jukebox Lean”

Staff writer: Taylor Williams

Feeling tired? Turn on “Jukebox Lean” and let the opening bass line’s shot of adrenaline carry you through the day. This track from the New Bomb Turks is pure punk perfection, all spiky power chords and raucous drums underneath Jim Weber’s howls. Just try and keep up with Weber as he spits lyrics with fervor and personality to spare, and don’t be surprised if you’re also out of breath when the inevitable full-band dropout hits. It’s a little reckless, a little rambunctious, and a rousing song from the underground punk movement’s stalwart and under-sung heroes.
