Shoutout to Myles O'Flaherty Music Journalist for this kind review. Phil Cook & the Fall Dogs Ageism, man — it’s the last acceptable prejudice, and nobody calls it out louder or with more glorious noise than Phil Cook & The Fall Dogs. Their latest rager is a middle finger to the cult of youth and a love letter to the beautiful, wrinkled wreckage of growing up. Think of it as Peter Pan meets The Stooges — the lost boys are back, and they’ve traded pixie dust for power chords.
This track tears through the speakers like a Harley on a downhill. Brad and James lock in a rhythm section that could wake the dead, while new recruit Bill Marchant melts faces with a lead that could peel paint off your garage wall — and make you grateful for it. It’s got that snarl of garage rock, the pulse of pop-punk, and the soul of a band that’s not pretending to be anything other than gloriously, unapologetically alive.
So yeah, growing old is inevitable — but irrelevant? Not if The Fall Dogs have anything to say about it. Crank this one until your neighbors start yelling about “the noise.” Then smile and tell them it’s just the sound of staying young.
