Today, reformed '90s hardcore sludge band, 16, released their fifth full-length album Bridges to Burn. The disc, which marks the 16th anniversary for the Southern California outfit, is full of oozing tarpit riffs, stomping brontosaurus beats and scabrous vocals that amply saves the title of the opening track, "Throw in the Towel," from becoming a bad punchline.
