Lagwagon has released an album in the wake of personal tragedy and have done so with great respect and dignity. Earlier this year, Derrick Plourde, former drummer of Lagwagon, sadly took his own life. The band, facing tremendous loss, decided to quickly put together an album of songs for their friend and release it quickly as well. “Resolve” is an entire album dedicated to the memory of their friend and former bandmate.
Punk by nature, Lagwagon has been making albums since the early ’90s. “Resolve” has shown the band’s ability to grow but stay true to their roots with in-your-face, catchy punk rock. The heartfelt lyrics are the standout to this album. With their loss, the members of Lagwagon decided to lay everything they were feeling onto this album, and it makes for a sad tribute.
Bands become family in their time together; Lagwagon lost a brother this year, and “Resolve” is a beautiful tribute.
