Scrotum Clamp / The Scuts I*A*N / Miss Information split EP
Fun split from across the pond, with both bands showcasing their own flavor of street punk while sounding different enough to keep things interesting. SCROTUM CLAMP plays a lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek Fat Wreck style of pop punk akin to GOOBER PATROL and FRENZAL RHOMB. The SCUTS sound as if they could have come from an early A-F Records comp sandwiched between THOUGHT RIOT and the CODE; melodic hardcore with lyrics drenched in politics. “Miss Information” is sung from the perspective of a right-wing bigot, and I’ll be honest here—if it wasn’t for the song title, I may have missed the irony. However, this is a really great split EP and is well worth a couple spins.
