...course, the Crimson’s record isn’t as bad as it would seem after factoring out that weekend sweep. Riding a five-game winning streak entering the Dodge Holiday Classic, Harvard’s lineup was crippled by the flu and subsequently managed only a 0-0 tie against Northern Michigan before a stunning upset loss at the hands of Merrimack. Regardless, the Crimson can ill-afford a slow start against the Saints, who scored 11 goals last weekend and will look to slide right into their up-tempo offense from the opening faceoff...
...first three tracks emblemize this interplay. Track one (“Am I saying ‘tight’ too much?”) begins with what sounds like a classic indie-pop-punk riff and whiny vocals (“fuck this town/I’ll burn it down”) but then eventually progresses to an impassioned and screechy vocal breakdown à la Born Against’s “I am an Idiot.” This trend crops up again, but reversed, in track three—starting out with the intense...

Performed live, the sound is still very stripped-down, allowing the soft earnestness of the songs to shine through. Barlow even employed two microphones, one clean and one muffled, switching...
After playing new songs like “Holding Back the Day” and “If I Could,” Barlow rewarded these old fans with “Perfect Way,” a classic Sebadoh song from the album Harmacy. The sing-along that ensued sparked a string of pleading requests for personal favorites that lasted the entire show. The songs from Emoh still dominated the set, revealing a new direction for Barlow that mirrors his new fatherhood...
