A Witness Loudhailer Songs EP

These guys remind me of a really early FALL with a rhythm machine. Screaming to whispers vocal prowess, strong lyrics (I do wish they’d included a lyric sheet), noisy , stark and intense. I’d rather hear a real drummer, but this is definitely a refreshing release for lovers of early Brit post-punk.

The Ex The Spanish Revolution 2×7″

Actually much more than two 7″ records, there is a full-fledged several hundred page, highly produced book sandwiched between them. The theme is obvious, covered from an anarchist post of view, printed in both English and Dutch. Musically, there are traditional Spanish songs updated in a CRASS-like manner — really vital. GREAT package.
