Review by: Alex Deller
To coin an oft-used cliché, this here 7″ is very much a game of two halves. Walking Dead Life is a dark, gloomy, repetitive number with a Wipers feel about it, plugging away with a simple bass pattern and sharp, brittle chords before vanishing off into a puff of smoke and ominous guitar drones. Manifest Junkyard on the other hand is a straight-up hardcore slugger with no such fancies about it, bashing, boshing and gargling its way through a handful of chords in little over a minute. Both offerings are totally tops in their own way, but for my money I’d be gunning for more of the a-side’s dark charms in the future”¦
