Feat. Richard Krieger who played trumpet on several Minutemen LPs.

An interesting and entertaining blend of fast hardcore and art punk - think of a blend of Circle Jerks, Minutemen and Mission of Burma. Not at the same time, of course, there are several fast hardcore songs that just have that little extra complexity, then there's more experimental songs, but they usually stay clear of that unlistenable art school crap. A cool forgotten band that deserves more credit. [7]

Interessanter und unterhaltsamer Cocktail aus Hardcore und Art Punk; irgendwo zwischen Circle Jerks, Minutemen und Mission of Burma. Natürlich nicht alles gleichzeitig, es gibt schnellere Hardcore-Songs, die nur ein wenig komplexen Minutemen-Einfluss haben, und dann wieder langsamere, experimentellere Songs, die auch sehr hörbar sind, kein unhörbarer Artschool-Kram (naja, meistens). Eine fast vergessene und unterbewertete Band.

Tracks: everyday life / metaphysical american family / drastic change / scientific proof // movie mongrel / unemployed extras / have a nice day / terra firma
