Dr. Dan Yemin has a lot of street cred. And he has been a busy guy as of late as well. Earlier last year he reformed his beloved pop-punk band from the early 90’s Lifetime, released a new album, and toured in support. Not one to take too much time off, he stepped back into his lead vocalist role for the Paint It Black’s newest album “New Lexicon”. The result is perhaps the bands finest hour…or as close as it can cut it to. Clocking in at around a half hour, the blistering pace of every song is only matched by the rage in Dr. Dan’s scream. People who think that hardcore died with Black Flag need to take note, from the influential pop-punk stylings of Lifetime, to the influential hardcore punk stylings of Kid Dynamite, to what no doubt will be the influential hardcore pummelings of Paint It Black, Dr. Dan is keeping the genre alive.
