Celtic punk rockers Flatfoot 56 intrigue critics with new album

CHICAGO-based Celtic punk rockers Flatfoot 56 have released a new album. 'Toil' is issued on Paper + Plastick. Wrote absolutepunk.net, "It's not every day you come across a Christian group that's unabashedly liberal politically. On 'Toil', it's much less a gimmick and much more a reflection of the band's genuine [beliefs] - their working class roots and the ability they have to combine faith, culture and song to stand up for them. That, to me, deserves a respect that runs deeper than the freshness, or lack thereof, of a melody."
