Modern Thieves, the newly released full length from Portland’s Straitjacket, has spent quite a bit of time in my rotation these past few months. The band treads a lot of the same Buzzcocks / Undertones / Stiff Little Fingers-inspired territory as the Briefs, so if you’re at all a fan that energetic Pacific Northwest sound there’s a lot to love here. The record arrived with little fanfare this May from TKO (CD) and Jonny Cat (LP). Here’s a few tunes:

Straitjacket - Tunnel Vision (MP3)
Straitjacket - Forty-Eight (MP3)
