&amp;lt;a href="http://themen.bandcamp.com/album/open-your-heart"&amp;gt;Open Your Heart by The Men&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;

Ironically referred to by Timeout NY as "Thurston Moore & the E Street Band," The Men have never been a band to play by categorical punk subgenre rules. Instead, over the last three years, this band has dabbled in everything from hardcore punk to psych to shoegaze to black metal; and they have done all of it effortlessly, and for the most part, flawlessly. Totally removed from the current climate of a.d.d-youtube-blog-hyped generation of musicians under 21, The Men stand out from the pack as both scene elders and actual record collectors.

Release date: 3/6/2012
