Along with the influence of Warsaw, I also loved some of the early SoCal bands such as Saccharine Trust, Social Distortion (c 1980) and The Minutemen. White Wreckage was also a skate band, and the intro to this combined the SoCal/skate energy (for me, at least) and the second half picked up with whatever you want to call it.
What am I singing about? It's simple: simply changing one's appearance doesn't necessarily change the person on the inside. This was a real big issue back then. Is it now? Maybe.
Opener absolutely rips. Falls into the ranks of tracks like “Dance” by ESG, “Eisbaer” by Grauzone, “Damaged Goods” by Gang of Four or like the album description says Kleenex. This is some really good stuff. Favorite song is the opener but dedicate “Blue” to my friend Blue who lost her life at 22, she would have loved this album. TheBloodofChrist
The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
