After deciding to retire after they finish their live sets for this year, Weekend Nachos released Apology, which is an appropriate end to their consistently excellent careers. This swansong is everything Weekend Nachos is about: explosive powerviolence riffs and drumming with heavy, churning sludge metal being interspersed between it, addictingly fun and menacing vocals, and doing it all with a defiant, rebellious attitude. From a songwriting standpoint, it isn't much different from what they've been doing all along, but it ultimately doesn't have to be, as the fierce aggression and seething vibe really carries the music itself, which is still as well-written as albums like Still. It's truly a shame to see them go, but they've definitely left their mark. In this case, it's a smoking crater.
