This…is pretty good? A new band from members of Redd Kross and Circle Jerks is something that I check out with a lot of skepticism. With Mario from 411/Hot Snakes accompanying them on drums, this is short and to the point hardcore in the vein of the Group Sex LP and early Black Flag (one song opens with a riff that is slightly similar to Nervous Breakdown). These guys have a few more seven inches coming out I guess and I think I will check them out. Decent Pettibone art accompanies the record. According to the band website, it looks like this one is in the middle of being repressed.
