Description
Back in 1979, Pinned Records dropped a pretty smart compilation record called Vancouver Complication a natty compilation of punk, new wave and power pop from the Canadian city. Some might say seminal, but only rock critics use words like that and theyre the worst people (I should know).
Judging by The Corner Boys debut 7, the kids in 2017 just love it.
Surely its not a new record, though. Its a great lost cut from that era, right? Or weve somehow fallen through a portal to that time and place, and uncovered an essential set of three obscure classics. This is punk as its supposed to be done: alla the hooks, alla the time, and played like they just got caught shoving firecrackers into the exhaust pipe of their dads new car. Its frantic and sassy and riotous and righteous and unpolished and perfect. My tip? Empty your head a little in preparation; this stuff is gonna be living in there for a long, long while.
