Brilliant first EP from one of the countries north of Mexico. Posted elsewhere with info. If you like it it’s cheap and easy to find.

Past Is Past.mp3
Love Is Shit(It’s Goodbye).mp3

Worst singer ever, makes for a good record.
2nd EP has the hit though.
Which is their hit in your opinion? I think this EP is slightly better than their second, even if the second one got the smasher “Beware of dog” with it’s Dead Kennedys influenced guitar lines. Or am I the only one who hear the simularities between When ya get drafted and Beware of dog?
I think the title track ‘Death in the Family’ is a close 2nd to MODERNETTES “Static” in best female sung Canadian punk song. Close to Androids, Curse and Blue Oil’s ‘A’ sides.
cheers…if anybody have interesting,check and ad to Your blog list this one…http://drpunkenstain.blogspot.com/(do the slam Punk)
Not bad, especially the proto-HC on the b-side. “Past Is Past” isn’t exactly hot stuff: it sounds kinda “sedated” and boring to my rotten ears. Thanx! :-)
It seems Chano and I shall never agree. A-side is where it’s at! :)
To each his own, buddy. ;-)
Almost excited for another potential hockey riot to hit Vancouver, yee-hah, but until then…this is an alright 7 inch from the area.
Terrible!!
