In Lieu "Hooligan" Review

April 23, 2026 by Matthew Spraungel in Album Review

In Lieu are practitioners of extremity, and on their latest full length offering Hooligan, sound as if they are out for blood. The band's home-base tends to be atonal riffing, voracious amounts of unruly effect pedal freak outs, stutter-stop rhythms, and atop the deluge, an almost inhuman sounding shriek serving as furious mouth piece.

I’m proud of how the Twin Cities has pulled together to help and protect each other when our elected officials refuse. Because of the occupation I haven’t had the mental focus I normally have to put towards Melodic Noise Media, so I didn’t get as many reviews written as I would have liked.
