about

Acumen, the venerable punk stalwarts hailing from the Carbondale, IL punk scene featuring Adam Fletcher of The Copyrights,, have released a thrilling sonic tapestry with their debut record, Mark VII, a unique endeavor that diverges from their typical punk roots. This audacious departure is marked by a collection of covers, an unexpected tribute to the obscure gems of the 1960s. The album transcends the boundaries of time, offering a fresh perspective on some largely overlooked tracks that defined an era. The band's decision to delve into the rich archives of the 1960s reflects both their reverence for musical history and their innate ability to infuse punk energy into unexpected places. The track list is a carefully curated selection of obscure songs, with each cover embodying Acumen's signature raw intensity. From garage rock to psychedelic ballads, the band fearlessly reimagines forgotten classics with their unmistakable punk fervor. The sonic palette of “Mark VIIl" is as eclectic as the era it pays homage to, showcasing Acumen's versatility as musicians.
