Anyone who’s seen them play knows that it’s a
party, and Oh! Calcutta!, is a carefully crafted
extension of that party made especially for you!
Don’t get the wrong idea, this is a proper studio
album, it just has something that a lot of albums
lack, certain intensity. Compared to great threepiece bands like Jawbreaker, and the more contemporary Alkaline Trio, THE LAWRENCE ARMS
further develop their frantic version of ornate
Midwestern power pop with this release.
Cohesion between co-vocalists (Chris and
Brendan) makes for the band’s best album to date.
Alcohol-induced stories of friendship and love,
spattered with literary references, and jokes on
pop culture permeate the lyrical content of the
album. Even a nod to the 80’s author Judy Bloom
is dished with "Are You There Margaret? It’s Me,
God." Be prepared for show 757 and beyond, as
the band hits the road with NOFX in the US just
prior to the release of Oh! Calcutta!

This is my favourite Lawrence Arms record. Rough and tough sound from the trio with great lyrics to sing along to and great music to jump and clap to. Looking forward to their next record. A must have!

Oh! Calcutta! is my favorite Lawrence Arms album so far. It features Brendan and Chris singing together instead of separately and I think that works better.

Fucking amazing album. Best punk rock record of 2006 second only to The Gold Record. Fast, catchy, upbeat, clever punk rock that you'd be an idiot not to like.
