The first single released by the band, "Despierta," popped up during the 2016 presidential campaign, a blunt-force political blast with trademark Buck guitar jangle and Tucker channeling Patti Smith in righteous "People Got the Power" mode. Despite that introduction, "Invitation" largely suggests that Filthy Friends is more about paying homage to its record collections rather than pushing any kind of agenda, political or otherwise. It's fun, but it's also a bit tentative, as if this band of all-stars was still trying to find its collective voice.
