Stiff Middle Fingers Like Eroding Stone LP
TurdKing’s vocals on this are driving, and while biting and sarcastic, they also have an introspection that can only come from years of being eaten away from the inside by boredom. All told, this is a great snotty hardcore punk record that reminds me of Florida’s greatest, the PINK LINCOLNS, and a little bit of Canada’s HEADCHEESE. It seems as though STIFF MIDDLE FINGERS have been a band for thirteen years, not carpet-bombing Lawrence, KS every three or four years with a release (maybe more like carpet-farting or cropdusting), until now. Like Eroding Stone has these five beautiful clowns distilling down their toilet-wine tunes to a fine, elegant, crisp oaky liquor with nice legs, paired well with a Molotov cocktail through your boss’s window or a quiet night of self-loathing. Either way, it’s a darn fine stomper.
