Based loosely on the movie Falling Down, where this guy unravels under the weight of the nerve-wracking oppression of the Establishment, “Not Economically Viable” is rife with angst and rebellion. The moral of the story is “Life Ain’t Fair” and the Methadones can relate. A 12 song pop punk ode to life's little inadequacies and what a dehumanizing social and economic system will do to you. That’s not to say this is an overtly political record – cuz’ it ain’t – it’s just the Methadones doing what they do best – punk rock. 12 searing tracks that play fast and fierce without ever forgetting the power of hot licks and hooks. Featuring Dan Schafer (aka Dan Vapid) of Screeching Weasel / Riverdales / Sludgeworth fame, plus Mike Byrne (x-Vindictives), Pete Mittler and Mike Soucy, this is the Methadones third full length CD and 2nd for THICK. Once again recorded at Sonic Iguana studios with long time producer and good friend Mass Giorgini (Screeching Weasel, Anti Flag, Rise Against), this is easily their best and most mature record to date.
