BLOG POST 14 tracks of vaudevillian mania make up the latest from one of Canada’s more unpredictable punk minds. Duane Regretzky, the road scholar out of Kenora, Ontario by way of Kamloops, British Columbia, has released his new album ‘Mind Palace’ on High End Denim Records, and it’s out now.
The record marks a real evolution of his sound. ‘Mind Palace’ free-falls through full-band punk anthems, heartfelt protest songs, culinary calamities, and acoustic ballads, occasionally exploding into a flourish of skate punk or power metal riffage. It runs the gamut thematically and musically, a genuine testament to Regretzky’s versatility.
His frenzied blend of punk rock sensibilities and sincere, thoughtful songwriting tends to leave onlookers entertained and a little stupefied in equal measure. For fans of Jeff Rosenstock, SNFU, and acoustic punk, the whole thing is an invitation to buy the ticket and take the ride. ‘Mind Palace’ is available now on all streaming service or Bandcamp.
