So excited we're doing a bracket for the Menzingers, my favorite band of the last decade by some margin. Let's go!


Kentucky Gentlemen

Lilith Avi

The Freaks

Red, White, and Blues

They Speak of My Drinking, But Never of My Thirst

Toy Soldier

 

My Friend Chris (Really love the lyrics here)

Cemetery’s Garden (I don’t really have much of an attachment to either of these - I’ll give this the edge though)

The Freaks (I like both of these quite a bit - I’ll give this one the edge because it’s streaming)

Irish Goodbyes (Ugh, this was the toughest one so far - I’ll go with Irish Goodbyes, but it’s close)

The Shakes (This was pretty easy)

Toy Soldier (Another easy choice)

Did I miss something with respect to Sunday Morning?

My Friend Chris -- This song is a classic.

Lilith Avi -- Both okay.

Great Apes and Shiny Stones -- One of the last "aggressive" songs -- dig it a lot.

Red, White, and Blues -- Irish Goodbyes is one of my least favorite Menzingers songs.

They Speak of My Drinking, But Never of My Thirst -- Love the guitars & the trading vocal duties. Rough to go against the Shakes though.

Toy Soldier -- Toss up but I'll lean towards the newer song.

 

Two songs were randomly awarded byes to the next round, Sunday Morning and No Penance.
