FEN FEN: In Yer Sights [Sweet Time]

Last year, Detroit’s FEN FEN released their deeply promising new album National Threat in what’s turned out to be a wildly fruitful period for Wayne County rock’n’roll. In Yer Sights is even better, churning and burly in this way that feels like it’s just gonna be about dudes doing dude shit. In sharp opposition to Heather the Jerk earlier this year, the chain and leather and blood of “Motorcycle” is very motorcycle. Then there are these songs about complacency and submission by default, offering insight into a deep-seated anger beyond aesthetic checkpoints. Shout out FEN FEN for the latest Michigan punk rock dog allegory, a tradition as old as the form itself.
