| Weird Womb - Laziness EP |
Release Date: 23rd September 2014
I may seem a little obsessed with
cover art at the moment but in this world of digital downloads it's worth
taking some time to notice these things. In this case, I am torn between
thinking that this is pretty depressing and having a reminisce about the cover
of the original release of Idlewild's 'Chandelier'. Anyway, regardless of the
cover art, the new EP from the Arizona boys is here and it opens up with the
charmingly titled 'Tanned Tits', a song that hits full speed pretty instantly with
rapid fire guitars, sputtering drums and vocals from the school of the Ramones.
'Luxury Punks' is up next with more of the same, unforgiving guitar riffs and a
real sense of frantic energy just bursting from every pore.
This isn't music to romance a
girl too but if you want to bounce around and burn off some excess energy then
songs like 'Macy' will be right up your dark alley. 'Hitler Painted Roses' is a
discordant mess of feedback, rock'n'roll attitude and clattering drums while
'Sabith' is speed punk-rock of the highest order. Six tracks in a little over
15 minutes is a dead giveaway that these guys are punks at heart but there is
rock'n'roll spirit in there as well - as proven by the meaty 'Weird Womb' which
finishes things up with aplomb. Fast, frantic and with a real rock'n'roll
attitude. Just how I like my coffee.....
