MILLENCOLIN – SOS

This month at the Plop Culture camp, we have been listening to the latest release of Swedish Punks Millencolin, SOS. Released earlier this year in February through long-time label ‘Epitaph’, their first release since 2015’s fantastic ‘True Brew’. I saw Millencolin on their True Brew tour in Fremantle, Australia, and they have still got it after being on the Punk scene for 27 years. SOS is a good solid album, not bringing anything new to the table, but continuing their legacy well. The 9th studio album from the skate-punk veterans, not my favourite, but not my least favourite. Stand out tracks (full album listing below) title track SOS, Sour Days, and Trumpets and Poutine. If you want to hear Millencolin at their best, check out 2000’s ‘Pennybridge Pioneers’ one of the real greats of the genre. But do give SOS a listen, it’s a fun album, with everything you want from a Millencolin release. A perfect album to soundtrack for this year’s summer antics. I’ve been a big fan of Millencolin for a long time, I even have a ‘Life on a Plate’ duck tattoo on my arm, and I think SOS is a great addition to Millencolin’s discography. Give it a listen.

SOS gets a Stupid Ross rating of 6/10.
