What was the one thing we missed during the pandemic? Live music and concerts! No matter what you say, live versions carry this intimacy and magic that are far from studio versions. And when it’s your favorite band, bringing some gems, especially in acoustic versions, wouldn’t that be amazing?

Rob Huddleston, Russ Jones, Pedro Aida & Donovan Greer form a quartet punk band Ann Beretta, which hails from Richmond, Virginia since 1996. Their performance “Like A Riot! Live from the Broadberry (Acoustic)” is a one in million album to catch, filled with 10 best releases! All of the songs are great, and you should definitely pick up the CD as a whole since it is an absolute masterpiece of live performances, complete with melodic guitars, rhythmic percussion, and thought-provoking lyrics. I’ve listened to a lot of live acoustics in the past few years, and this is quite the marvelous reinvention of some of the best dirty pop-punk music from the archives of Ann Beretta. After just one listen, you’ll be hooked on the never-ending stream of music on their Spotify, dripping with punk rock straight out of the 90s that sounds even more melodious with time, giving off a vintage vibe.

The fully released album is now available for listeners all around the world to stream on Spotify so not a single would be missed out on, or you could grab the exquisite pink vinyl with individually portrayed artwork to add to your collection.
