A portion of you may know Steve Adamyk from his bands MILLION DOLLAR MARXISTS and SEDATIVES. If so, you’ll most likely dig this sophomore release from his own STEVE ADAMYK BAND endeavor, and for those who aren’t familiar with his work, you’ll probably just love Forever Won’t Wait just ‘cos it freakin’ rules. From the pop-punk of the two initial tracks, “Take It Back” and Let It Slide,” to the sweet power pop of “Forever Won’t Wait” and “Bored Of Love” to the straight-up snotty punk of “I Run Wild” and “Gonna Die,” this is one seriously good punk record. Some of this reviewer’s favorites include the aforementioned total in-your-face punk-as-fuck “I Run Wild,” and it’s follow-up “Gonna Die,” as well as the awesome, somewhat calmer but insanely powerful “Never Wake Up,” and the garagey-cool, seductive “Election Day.” And to add to the coolness factor, the band end this 11-song stunner with a killer version of THE DICKIES’ “X-Eyed Tammy” (“Cross-Eyed Tammy”). Fun fun fun. “Never Wake Up” (Janelle Jones)
