El Paso band, Melt Citizen are preparing to release their new album, Life’s a Joke Then You Croak on November 27th. You quickly learn that the album title comes from the band’s new single, “It Was the Most I Ever Threw Up and It Changed My Life Forever.” “Life’s a joke then you croak” is the chorus shouted over driving drums and crunchy guitars. Although short, the garage rock blast shows the band’s ability to write songs with a sense of urgency and purpose.
