Not necessarily new but another record I just slept on. So the story behind this thing, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that it was originally a demo tape that was pressed to vinyl by DEPLETED RESOURCE in limited quantities. Then TANKCRIMES came along and gave this thing a "proper" release. So although this is newer then the split with STYMIE on COWABUNGA records its actually older material, if not from the same session. Jeez. Just record new stuff already. Anyways...
These songs are a great getaway from the hardcore/punk norm. Kicking Spit have a style that's really all over the place while still staying within the boundaries of the record. Most people have already said that this is reminiscent of very early DINOSAUR JR. and it is, but I also hear a strong ALL influence, just done a with a little more dirt and noise. Also if you told me BOB MOULD was in this band, I'd probably believe you. So the end result is this pop like college rock that is a little rough around the edges.
Great innovative stuff on this 12". Really looking forward to this band getting together new material and possibly hitting the road again. I would recommend this album to pretty much anybody. As out there as it is, this release just comes together really well.
