strip malls, Prozac and missed opportunities with humour and pathos.” *

Released in 2017, *Enter the Kingdom* is *Frontier Ruckus*’ 5th and most
lush record to date. For this album, the band’s prolific songwriter *Matthew
Milia* explores the struggles of modern day American suburbia. It’s a
literal description of his father losing his job and relying on disability
cheques in order to survive, talking of the disintegration of American
dream, growing up in the 90s, delving into the darkness but balanced by a
sense of humour. Although the lyrics are intrinsic to Frontier Rucks’
songcraft, the songwriting is second to none, with sophisticated, catchy
tunes and lush harmonies, honed by Wilco drummer *Ken Coomer’*s deft
production skills.
