Album Reviews
Stick to Your Guns released their new album Keep Painting Flowers from Sharptone Records on January 10, 2025. No question, this record rules. Coming in at just under 25 minutes long, Keep Painting Flowers lives up to 1) its name and 2) expectations for quality from this band.
Keep Painting Flowers is a hopeful, inspiring, fiercely optimistic album, exactly what is needed in this time. It’s the best version of political hardcore: deeply affecting, harsh vocals still understandable, and a killer rhythm section. The album showcases some pretty melodic pre choruses and riffs on occasion to spice up the musical landscape. The few sampled monologues are perfectly selected and placed.
Keep Painting Flowers is a perfect record. 10/10, no notes, gimme more.

Once described as "a gas station philosopher trapped in a pop punk drummer's body," Lee enjoys thinking and writing about music outside of his creative and intellectual grasp!
