When I first heard The Men’s album Leave Home (Sacred Bones; 2011), I was immediately struck by the music’s cheeky attitude towards the traditions of genre and ownership within the music industry. The Men use a myriad of references to other artists and albums in their song titles (the title Leave Home is also the title of a famous Ramones album), and The Men jump from one genre to another, sometimes even within a single song. These historical references serve to show where The Men come from in terms of influence, and that influence shows their predilection towards bands that break barriers of genre. This also shows their attitude towards the future of music-making. The Men are not here to make easily defined music; they are here to rock your face off in any manifestation of music they choose. Those who want comfortable music need not listen.
…but that is just my opinion. As with any piece of art put forth into the public sphere, we can never truly know what the author’s motivations and inspirations were when they created the art. The artists themselves view and review their art differently as time passes, as do critics and the public. No work of art stands alone, and individuals will interpret music according to their own experiences, as The Men stated when I interviewed them on Saturday before their concert with Oslo band Dark Times at Revolver. For The Men, this is just a part of being a band that is difficult to define by traditional standards.
What I find most refreshing about The Men is their focus on music for music’s sake. This band does not pander to the trends of the music industry, as they explained in their interview. Their standards are set by individual artists like Neil Young who follow their own vision and don’t care about the lines drawn by genre. They are here to make good music, and however that music is defined is something left to the critics.
