 | Razorcake will send you one free issue if you ask your librarian if they would carry Razorcake in their stacks. (This offer is good for both traditional libraries and independent libraries.) To get the free issue, you must send us the librarian's name and email and the library's postal address. We will then contact them directly and donate a subscription to them. U.S. libraries only, due to postage. | |

WEAKENDS, THE:
Self-titled: LP
After seeing its bizarre, sepia-toned cover image (a kid wearing an all-brown outfit and what appears to be a Goofy mask, standing in what I’d guess to be a petting zoo corral), I was prepared for this stuff to be mind-fucking ‘80s-style hardcore that would threaten to traumatize me. Instead, it is unpolished garage-blues/rockabilly from a French three-piece—a pretty far cry from the Pissed Jeans brethren I expected. The Weakends’ aching vocals, clattering drums, thick bass lines, and trembling guitar tones turn this into a decent experience, but it is lacking a certain punch to make it memorable. The highlight is the creepy screeches of “Dawn of the Dead,” a song that borders on kitschy but it’s too over the top.
