Rude Television Disconnect cassette
West Palm Beach, Florida egg-punkers RUDE TELEVISION return with another release on the format they’re becoming known for. This is the band’s seventh cassette EP, if you include their split tapes. The length kinda works perfectly for a band like this—it’s short enough that as soon as the songs are over, you’re inclined to flip the tape for another listen, especially with the first track being as much of a powerhouse as “Digital Frustration.” Its infectious hooks will certainly demand more listens. Disconnect is Tascam-recorded, lo-fi, synth-drenched garage punk, each track as catchy as the last. RUDE TELEVISION has clearly figured out their lane and continues to crank out consistently strong releases within it. At only four songs, it’s over almost as soon as it begins. Thankfully, I’d be willing to bet RUDE TELEVISION already has another cassette EP that isn’t far behind.
