'True Brew' is the eighth studio album by Swedish skate punk band Millencolin. It was released on 22nd April 2015 through Epitaph Records.
Stylistically, 'True Brew' returns to the faster punk rock sound of Millencolin's '90s releases and marks a departure from the more alternative rock-driven sound that dominated their albums since 'Pennybridge Pioneers'. The new material musically draws upon some of Millencolin’s earliest influences like Bad Religion through galloping drums and fast, technical riffing, the album lyrically tackles modern sociopolitical issues in ways the band never have before. Take standout track 'Sense & Sensibility', which Sarcevic wrote about the growing problem of nationalist and racist political parties in his native Sweden.
'True Brew' is the kind of album that sounds both timeless and modern, a record that could only come out of four adults who have been side by side since they were teenagers, who have weathered changing politics, shifting cultures and the rise and fall of all kinds of musical trends. Most bands never make it this far in their careers, at least not without a handful of ex-members, lawsuits and various skeletons in their respective closets. And one listen to 'True Brew' will tell you that Millencolin are back, they’re as strong as they’ve been in a decade or more and they’ve never lost that fire.
