With a love of scuzzy guitars and punk rock, Brooklyn quartet THE MEN released many a cassette since forming in 2008. But it was their focused, on point third album, 2012’s Open Your Heart, which won new fans’ hearts, with its goofy blues explosions, country-lovin’ dirges and straight-up indie punk anthems. Laneway Festival will mark The Men’s first trip to Oz.
