In addition to the fact that the cover art here reminded me of an artist I knew quite some time ago…any time I can give a listen to a demo tape is a good day.   There has always been something about the raw bits and pieces of these offerings that greatly appeals to me. 

“Mandarinas” comes in hard and fast offering some classic punk-style lyrics and chord progressions.  I had a garage-party moment when I first heard it for sure.  That good vibe carries right on through this album with fuzzy guitars at the front and a clean but slightly subdued rhythm section.  There is an interesting change of pace when you hit “Fish Brain” as it has a little bit more of a sing-song quality to it before the aptly named “Screamie” punches out to the end.  The mixing is a little rough especially with the vocal tracks but hey, that just makes me like it all the more.  This album comes out courtesy of RIP Records (Miami, FL) and is well worth a listen & purchase.
