Made to Be Broken

Soul Asylum

A ragged, high-velocity collision of Midwestern punk and folk-tinged songwriting. Raw, restless, and deeply earnest rock from the Twin Cities underground.

It's the sound of a band too loud for the bar but too honest for the radio.

A frantic and earnest collision of punk aggression and midwestern melancholia.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the acoustic strumming on 'Never Really Been' suddenly feels as heavy as a distorted stack.
The frantic, interlocking guitar riffs on 'Ship of Fools' that sound like they're about to derail.
The rhythmic shift in 'New Feelings' where the drums seem to push and pull against the melody.
