Lies is a follow up the their 2012 release GO!, which was a stand up album in it's own rights.
Soto St. have a fast-paced, aggressive style, typical of southern California hardcore skate punk. The band consists of Jeff - Voxxx/insults, Dane - guitar/vox/ intensity, Pat - Percussive beatdown, Cody - Groove smashing. Lies is 10 track, full length that fucking rocks out no mater what angle you check it from. Lies asks a lot of good questions that need a lot of better answers. The only real issue I have with this album is that I don't feel it is loud enough. - I keep turning this fucker up but i can't get it to be loud enough. I love how Jeff's vocals keep dipping in and out of Mike Nessness throughout the album. If you need a good album to have playing while you skate or hang our with your buds drinking beer in the backyard while charring the meat of a critter this is the album. It's a great album - I can listen to it on repeat all day and not get bored with it - and I think that makes an album worth it's dollar value. Check it out here and grab a copy for yourself. Stand out tracks for me are Police Brutality, Johnny Law, Going Nowhere, and Two Party System. Regret is the track that everyone will most easily identify with - let's face it - we all have it Jeff just put it into the right words.
Bottom Line - Great album ☆☆☆☆1/2 of these stars
