Cindy Lawson - Long Live The Resistance! [CD]

"Cindy Lawson, a punk legend from Minneapolis, is back with a powerful new single, "The Reckoning." This track is a bold statement that proves quality punk music never really goes away, it just waits for the right moment to make its comeback. "The Reckoning" is now available, and it's a fierce response to anyone who doubted Lawson's lasting influence on the Minneapolis music scene, which she helped shape alongside bands like The Replacements and Soul Asylum." - Zillions "Twin Cities rock legend Cindy Lawson is in full punk rock mode on this blistering number "The Reckoning" about an evil individual who finally gets taken down. "Karma's a bitch, but so am I," sings Lawson, and you can't help feeling gleeful about her triumph. In Lawson's words, this song is "for anyone who's been burned, betrayed, and silenced."" - Lord Rutledge After decades away from the stage, Cindy Lawson—a staple of the ’80s Minneapolis punk scene alongside The Replacements and Soul Asylum—has roared back with a fiery new EP of twin/cities gird loin garage punk. It’s snarling, cathartic and rooted in DIY garage punk about betrayal and reclamation that lands with the same grit and urgency as Patti Smith or Sleater-Kinney. Cindy’s story is one of survival and revival: walking away from music after an industry betrayal, then reclaiming her voice years later.
