Bawinkel and the rest of Flatfoot 56 his brothers, Justin (drums) and Kyle (bass), Eric McMahon (bagpipes/guitar) and Brandon Good (mandolin/guitar) may have suggested that Toil would be less raucous than previous albums, but the band s well-noted hardcore-tinged sound is still present. Brother, Brother starts fast and never slows down, a blisteringly paced barnburner of an opening track, carried by McMahon s bagpipes, aggressive yells, dirty guitars and a huge chorus. Meanwhile, other tracks like future first single I Believe It showcase a more rootsy, folk-oriented side of the band. Gang vocals and pounding drums allow Flatfoot 56 to retain its signature sound.Teaming up with Paper + Plastick for Toil was a natural match in the eyes of the band. They always seem to promote the creative side of the album, Bawinkel said. As a band we all really value that creative vision, and Paper + Plastick is the place to be for that.Toil is the band s follow-up to 2010 s wildly successful Black Thorn, which notched the band a spot on nine Billboard charts.
