Lawson, Cindy
Long Live The Resistance!
"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 Lawsona staple of the '80s Minneapolis punk scene alongside The Replacements and Soul Asylumhas 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.
