45 RPM- both sides.
SIDE A
Distorted vocals, kinda lo-fi but poppy modern post-punky tunes. Kind of boring in places but overall not too bad.
((((1)))) Noisy, bassy thudding and semi-pop vocals and fairly catchy build up. Pretty cool sound.
(((2))) Mid-paced very 90’s “distro pop” with lots of bass & some breaks. Not too far from The Fall running through Sonic Youth, Superchunk & even a pop version of Unwound.
(((3))) Uppity with distort vocals and poppy chorus & big bass sound.
((((4)))) Fast, punky & jumpy. Gets right to the point.
(((5))) Stop-starts, lots of old Sonic Youth-y parts slathered in distortion and some tempo changes.
SIDE B – Talbot Tagora side
(((1))) Fast, clean punky with lightly distorted vocals.
((2)) So-so, early 90’s generic college rock, bassy, Sonic Youth-isms everywhere.
(3) Twanky, shitty 2 chord distorted rock. Ugh. Drags on forever.
(((4))) Uppity more punky, noisy & kinda rockin’. Vocals way off in the distance but manages to be fairly memorable.
