Produced by front man Ryan Young, Be Good is OWTH’s fifth studio album. Forced acceptance is a big theme of Be Good, though it’s a hard-learned one, often emerging in the form of primal screams in the band’s trademark style of gruff-punk. Much of the self-deprecation that defined the band’s previous work has been adjusted. It was the years spent out of the van, developing a life at home in Chicago, that gave Young his newfound, more positive perspective. “Not being on the road 250 days a year…you’d be surprised what that does,” he says.
