Formerly named Shovlhed. + lyric booklet. CD only.

Some tracks sound a LOT like Nomeansno (not as good, though…), hectic punk with jazz rhythms. The rest is a blend of (sometimes melodic) punk, hardcore, electronics, noise & experimental stuff. Interesting, but we’ve heard this before.  [6]  

Viele Songs auf dieser CD klingen verdächtig nach Nomeansno - nur nicht so gut. Ansonsten ein recht interessantes Mosaik aus hektischem Punk, Hardcore, Jazz, Elektronik, Krach. Manchmal dreht die Musik auch etwas ins Experimentelle ab, bleibt aber immer auf der “sicheren” Seite. Insgesamt nicht übel, aber einmal Nomeansno reicht mir.
