Doc Hopper Zigs, Yaws & Zags LP reissue
Originally released in 1999 on Go Kart Records as a CD only, and to be honest, until this reissue, I didn’t even know it had come out. I’ve loved everything I’ve ever heard them do, from their Sweetums 7” through their Reservoir and Ringing Ear releases. I just assumed that the band split up in ’95 to go be in the hundreds of other bands they ended up in. This LP continues the high-energy DESCENDENTS/CHEMICAL PEOPLE style while keeping true to their East Coast charm. Also, Chris Pierce is the most consistent member of this band, and his punk lineage stretches back to the A.G.’S who had a couple Mystic Records releases, up through SINKHOLE who were on Lookout! and Dr. Strange, on through hundreds of other bands and recording up through SCHOOL DRUGS currently, perhaps. Don’t sleep on this DOC HOPPER’s Zigs, Yaws & Zags LP as I had.
