Keepsake of Luck was the most underrated album of 07...but the sound quality of these new songs are terrible.

DeadMilkMan (March 16, 2008)

These new songs aren't very good. They're dragging Keepsake's welcome out for a bit too long.

televisioneyes (March 16, 2008)

i liked this band alright until i saw them live. not because of their musical performance, but because of the way they conducted themselves.

Dudley_Shale (March 16, 2008)

Didn't they used to be a ska band...?

IRuinEverything (March 16, 2008)

nope, never.

swissftw (March 16, 2008)

Some of the guys used to be in a ska band called The Skatenders

IRuinEverything (March 17, 2008)

the skatenders were the rebels...the 7" they put out is just early recordings of songs that later appeared on their first album

Fuzzy (justin) (March 16, 2008)

"Streetpunk with horns." They are a pretty horrible band all in all.

EZ3 (March 16, 2008)

Keepsake of luck was so good. I'm really excited that they have a new album out so soon. The new songs sound good.

PoorBoy (March 16, 2008)

This band's first record was great, and the 2nd was INCREDIBLE, but I just can't get into anything after that.

DiscoFucker (March 16, 2008)

The record is titled "Mom and Dad's Family Album." I am pretty excited for it, sounds like its gonna be a stripped down version of the Keepsake sound. Street punk band that just turned into a solid rock n roll outfit.

ChipRan-man (March 16, 2008)

70 pages of journal entries? Really? I mean, that's worth the printing costs?

shaunheintz (March 16, 2008)

good to hear some RCR news. one of the most looked over bands out there. Hate to be Loved and Keepsake of Luck are brilliant rock and roll gems.

manincognito (March 16, 2008)

both songs sound good. keepsake of luck was a great album.let's see a toronto date soon boys...so happy the walked away from their shitty glam-rock style...hate to be loved made my ears bleed, and not in a good way.

William_Jess (March 17, 2008)

TenTalonsDeep (March 17, 2008)
