One of their best 7”s, issued to commemorate their 10th band anniversary. This has their trademark blend of punk and rock, rooted in 60s psychedelia but fuelled by 80s punk and hardcore. It's hard to categorize or compare, the only band I can think of that comes even remotely close is the Wipers. Great music, only the first song, “Shake”, is a rather boring soul song. [8]  

Phantastischer DC-Punk/Rock’n’Roll, dessen Wurzeln zwar noch eindeutig in den 60ern / 70ern liegen, der aber seine Energie vom Punk der 80er bekommt. Der einzige Vergleich, der mir einfällt (und selbst der hinkt noch stark), ist “Wipers”. Einziger Ausfall der Platte ist “Shake”, eine Soul-Nummer. Ansonsten nur vom Feinsten. Erschienen zum 10-jährigen Bandjubiläum 1986.
