Eastfield Terminus 10″
EASTFIELD, so I’m told, have been “occupying the top slot in Rail Punk,” given as they are named after a rail depot—which I would say is factually incorrect in a universe when HYGIENE is still a very going concern—but undoubtedly they do love their trains, and this release chugs along pleasantly. While this definitely does fit nicely into an “old bloke punk” bucket, the sort of mid-afternoon slot at Rebellion Fest in hiking boots and cargo trousers vibe, it’s hard to slag it off entirely. It’s got a certain HALF MAN HALF BISCUIT vibe in parts to the wordplay, and it’s perfectly inoffensive. I’m sure EASTFIELD fans will be delighted by this, but it’s more rail replacement service than anything.
