Loaded, agile and extremely sharp, Portland rock band, The Macks, are a knife. The five-piece outfit are releasing a brand new record with a title to fit. The Macks are a Knife becomes the band’s fifth LP and brings with it a whole new station. We see the band as more playful and conversational in the new album, but also tighter and more intentional than ever before. Instead of centering the album on what the Macks are supposed to represent as a rule, TMAAK shows you who the Macks are at their core. The Macks are huge — larger than life, too big to fit on a record and certainly too full to fit in a page. Although the posse are best digested live with frontman, Sam Fulwiler, screeching into the microphone, the new release surely reaches up to the mark.
