This one goes out to my pug, Scarlett, because this 7” is called Pug Life.  A cute play on words of “Thug Life” and has an adorable picture of a pug in a mug shot as the cover art.  So I was super stoked when I got this 7” in the mail.  I’ve been a big fan of Andrew Jackson Jihad for a while.  So when I saw that they had a new split out I knew I had to get my hands on it.  The 7” is a split between the two bands Andrew Jackson Jihad and Apocalypse Meow.  Yes, Apocalypse Meow, cat lovers you have a new favorite band.  Pug lovers you have a new 7” that you need to get your hands on, because this split is really fucking good.  On this recording Andrew Jackson Jihad is Ben on bass, drums, irie, Stephen on guitar and sing, and Sean on guitar, sing, wurlitzer.  Andrew Jackson Jihad does two great songs on the split, the song here being Island Song.  Apocalypse Meow also has two solid songs on this split, so I really highly recommend people pick this shit up.  The 7” is put out by Traffic Street Records, which I believe is based out of Washington D.C.  The record was shipped out to me super quick, I was surprised to find it in the mail as fast as it came.  It seems that Traffic Street Records has put out a lot of exciting stuff and I’m looking forward to buying more of their releases.  I ordered the poster of the cover art for an extra buck because I think pugs are adorable and I can’t wait to put it up on my wall.  My copy of the 7” came on amber colored vinyl, which just makes it even better for a nerd like me.  Seriously y’all, the songs on here are great if you like either band and the album art is adorable.  Pick up this record if you can.  So take a couple of listens to Island Song and enjoy the great, seemingly troubled to me, music of Andrew Jackson Jihad.
