"There's no sloganeering here, just beautifully observed and smartly elucidated songs about the human condition... It all makes for the first great emo record of 2025." - 4/5

Michael Cera Palin are an emotive indie-punk trio from Atlanta, GA. The band are noted for consciously vulnerable lyrics, a cathartically catchy sound, and an impassioned live show, all forged through a decade of cutting teeth in the genre-fluid arts landscape of their home. Michael Cera Palin's debut LP, "We Could Be Brave", displays the band stretching their limbs to prove their growth as both musicians and discerning creatives. "Feast or Famine", "Gracious", "Despite", & "Wisteria" serve as benchmarks for MCP's prowess of their Midwest Emo roots, each song rich with its own display of the band's dynamic range.

"The world might not be so beautiful right now, but in the brave and timely hands of Michael Cera Palin, emo has never been in a better place." - 8/10

MCP released two EPs from 2015-2018 before a premature hiatus. After derailed ambitions for their 2020 return (now to a notably larger listenership than they had previously left behind), the band retreated from the social dimension of the community to begin carving their new chapter, and finding a voice of their own. They then released 2 singles, before starting toward an accelerating tour ethic since 2022, diligently assuring fans along the way that a debut full-length album would be with them in due time. Whether owed to or despite their limited output, Michael Cera Palin's work continues to accrue fervent support, with mounting anticipation of their new material.
