Comment:
similarly to other genres there is difference between punk and punk.
Between tedious and interesting punk. The Wades' 13-notch issue
(which is obviously the oeuvre of the group) is the latter case
because of providing at times humorous interludes, stubborn DIY
aesthetic and frequently borderline punk/indie numbers where one can
discern the influences of roots music thereof being unmistakably
American. The accomplishment of these ideas is a cut above as well.
At times being loosely noisy and anarchistic like Sonic Youth, at
times being politically poignant, however, revealing its thick
cultural layers being set up on one another. The only exception is New Direction, a song being written by Gorilla Biscuits. Last but not least – the issue was released on
such label as Comfort Stand Recordings which had been a platform for
innovative and uncompromising sound in the first half of the 00s. In
a word, get the legacy of this great combo of
Alicia Wade, and Chris Wade.
