Two punk & hardcore rippers Orange County (Neon Maniacs) vs. Pennslyvania (Cranked Up!)
SIDE A - Neon Maniacs
(((1)))“Nomad” - A nice mixed up thing that imagines Ian MacKaye fronting the Descendents & Naked Raygun all in the same song.
((((2)))) “Young Blades” - Totally Southern California 1980’s HC sound. Think: Adolescents mixed with....I dunno - Mad Parade & say, Naked Raygun? (yeah, I know they’re from Chicago & not So. Cal, but there’s lots of those prevalent “Whao-whoa” Raygun like choruses) Killer, catchy & to the point.
SIDE B - Cranked Up!
((((1)))) “Swindled” - More super-catchy So. Cal 80’s style punk/hardcore with raw vocals. (Which makes them sound like they’re singing “Sweet Love” or “Sweet Loaf”). A mix of Agent Orange, Fear & Black Flag. KIIIILLLER guitars all over! FCCs: (“fuck” & “fuckin’ fuck” at least 3 times, the word “cunts” isn’t audible, though).
((((2)))) Slow & ugly yet also super-rockin’ punk/h.c. with Greg Ginn-like guitars & Lee Ving-type of vocals. Imagine a ‘posi’ version of Fear? FCCs: “Fuckin” twice)
