Description
Heading up the new crop of Toronto outfits, these ignoroids blaze through ten tracks of rough buzzsaw scorch with speed and hooks to spare think 77 (Dils, Weirdos) meets 82 (Angry Samoans, Zero Boys) with a healthy side Lazy Cowgirls and early Humpers. Members of Career Suicide and School Jerks, so you know whats up. Cut loud at 45 for maximum impact, one-time pressing of 500.
Our take: Debut vinyl (I believe) from this new Toronto punk band. This record has been getting hype, and its easy to see why. Plasticheads are one of those bands that sits right on the bubble between the fastest garage-punk and the catchiest hardcore. 80s bands like Zero Boys and Angry Samoans come to mind, but more recent bands like Carbonas and the Spits are a closer comparison as the frantic 90s garage of bands Teengenerate, Guitar Wolf, and the Rip Offs is a big ingredient in the stew. Like most rock music, the key to doing this sound well is having a great drummer, and this one can hammer the ride cymbal just as quickly, accurately, and gracefully as the master Dave Rahn himself. The next time youre bursting with energy and so excited about whatever youre about to do that you cant sit still, put this one on its the perfect soundtrack to those all-to-rare moments of exuberant joy.
