Heard good things about this lot and toyed with the idea of picking up their flexi. Only things really holding me back were the amount of disdain I have for flexidiscs and the amount of disdain I have for bands with names like ‘Fried Egg’. Thankfully I now have the opportunity to hear said flexi and the band’s three-song follow up on the novel and forward-looking audio format known as ‘cassette tape’ because, you know what? It’s good. Pretty good. The band play ragged, quickfire, nailgun-to-the-face hardcore punk that’s not quite as simplistic as it initially appears. Things blare at you with a guitar sound part-way between early Dicks and early Poison Idea and some horrible vommed-up vocals, all of it permeated by a lank-haired Toxic State vibe that looms threateningly in the shadows throughout. As I said before: pretty good. Pretty good indeed.
