Constantines are one of those bands that we can’t really deny enjoying when we are trying to walk in a straight line down the street or speak clearly, or even to a lesser extent, when we get off work. Basically they make us feel like getting really drunk and talking to a stranger about our problems which weirdly makes us want to listen to them even more. So, after playing their new album Kensington Heights (out now) on the regular, we decided to hit them up about playing for us at Heathers. We weren’t sure what we were going to get, but when lead singer Bryan Webb ran through a couple softly-sung acoustic songs on what felt like the first sunny afternoon in New York since 2000-never, we were smiling pretty heavily while enjoying an afternoon beer.
