Jesse Hughey wrote up a review of The Lash Outs' new self-titled disc for this week's paper, praising the band's lyricism and enthusiasm within its straight-ahead punk rock approach.
Specifically, he name-checks this song, "The Kids Don't Wanna Dance," and rightfully so. Check out these lyrics:
And when I walk the vacant streets of Ellum /
I can't help but feel a little sore /
And you know what hurts the most? /
My heart's a-breakin' 'cause the kids don't dance no more.

Yeah, it's bratty. But ain't it also an accurate description of Deep Ellum's musical climate at the moment? --Pete Freedman
