Description
Everything about this band is pretty much perfect!
Infectious punk tunes to get everyone moving composed by the freaks from CULO. This band has been slaying at their gigs and winning everyone over with their hooks and amazing song writing. Six tracks total produced by GEZA X.
Im sure you know by now that Tarantula features a number of former Clo members among their ranks and pretty much pick up right where Clo left off, but honestly I think that this EP is better than anything Clo produced, and Im a pretty big Clo fan! Its funny, I mentioned to Jeff that for a band that didnt even have a bass player in their previous iteration, the basslines on this EP are absolutely killer, and without a doubt one of the bright spots in the songs.
The other reason I prefer this somewhat to Clo is because theyve slowed the tempos down just a hair. While this is still pretty much full-bore punk rock, playing at just a tad less manic tempo really makes the catchiness of these tracks jump out at you. I feel like I hear a lot of the classic punk sensibility of bands like the Dickies or even prime-era Naked Raygun in these tracks, though without sounding like a rehash or an homage at all.
The lyrics are even really strong and well worth a read. Heres hoping that we get a spate of Tarantula releases much like the deluge of Clo vinyl that we saw in 2010 and 2011 and that theyre all as killer as this one.
