For fifteen years, Chicago melodic punk trio, The Lawrence Arms<\/strong>, have been delivering raw heart on sleeve anthems for drunk punks. However, it\u2019s been five years since their last record! It\u2019s been an even further eight since their last full length! So it wouldn\u2019t be a surprise that they\u2019ve been missed dearly, but patience has been rewarded.<\/p>\n In celebration of their latest, and sixth, full length album, \u2018Metropole\u2019<\/em> (which can be heard here<\/a>!), we at Already Heard<\/strong> have set ourselves a task. A few of us have racked our brains, and so we present to you, what we feel, are the five best songs by The Lawrence Arms<\/strong>!<\/p>\n What are your favourite The Lawrence Arms<\/strong>\u00a0songs? Let us know on our\u00a0Facebook<\/a> or Twitter<\/a> or in the comments below.<\/em><\/p>\n The real tragedy of The Lawrence Arms<\/strong>\u2019 career is that they didn\u2019t discover their superpower until late. For so long they relied on the two quite distinctive voices at their disposal sharing the tracklist, but on \u2018Oh! Calcutta!\u2019<\/em> they consistently unleashed the superlative fun of their combined tones. Where just the one voice makes for a clearer sound, their dual gruff attack felt like a kick up the backside, like a strong measure of chaos had been added to the cocktail. \u2018Beyond The Embarassing Style\u2019<\/em> is the epitome of that rejuvenation. The softer edges of Chris McCaughan\u2019s voice adds slight touches of emotion that rise from the rowdiness, clearest in that oddly beautiful middle eight. For me the high point of their career.
