Mike Watt + The Secondmen Ev Kain - Shit On Me Striking Out

Review by Andrea Antonio Gallo

Alright, let’s dive into Shit On Me Striking Out by Mike Watt + The Secondmen Ev Kain. This punk rock gem from 2015 doesn’t mess around—it’s raw, unfiltered, and hits like a kick to the gut in all the right ways. Released under ORG Music, this album feels like a love letter to anyone who still gets hyped about vinyl records and gritty guitar riffs. Shoutout to Andrea Good for the design too; it's got that DIY edge that just screams punk ethos. Now, I gotta talk about two tracks that stuck with me: “Striking Out” and “Shit On Me.” These songs ain’t your typical cookie-cutter punk stuff—they’ve got layers (yeah, I said it). “Striking Out” kicks things off with this driving bassline that Mike Watt is famous for. It’s punchy, relentless, and makes you wanna grab a mic and scream along even if you don’t know the words. There’s something about how the drums crash in sync with the vocals—it’s chaotic but controlled, like they’re daring you to keep up. Honestly, every time I hear it, I feel like I’m back at some dingy club show where everyone’s sweating and shouting together. Feels real, ya know? Then there’s “Shit On Me,” which flips the vibe a bit. It starts off kinda slow-burning, almost like it’s lulling you into a false sense of chill before BAM—it explodes into this explosive chorus that’s impossible not to headbang to. The lyrics are sharp as hell, cutting through the noise like a rusty knife. You can tell these guys aren’t holding back—they’re laying it all out there, no apologies. And honestly? That’s what makes it stick. When the song ends, you’re left buzzing, replaying those lines in your head. What’s wild is how this album manages to feel both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. Like, it reminds me of late-night drives blasting old-school punk tapes while also sounding totally now. Maybe it’s because life itself feels kinda messy and loud these days—just like this record. Oh, and here’s a random thought: isn’t it funny how an album called Shit On Me Striking Out somehow makes you feel better about your own crap? Punk has always been good at turning garbage into gold, and this one’s no exception. So yeah, crank it up loud—you won’t regret it.
