Freak Magnet – Freak Magnet / Buddha Knievil split – Review

Freak Magnet

Freak Magnet / Buddha Knievil split (Urban Legend)

I wonder if they named themselves after the L7 song. I’ve never seen a 7″ that spins at 45 rpm on one side, and 33 1/3 on the other. “Looks Familiar,” the 45 rpm side, sounds like a garage punk version of White Zombie, minus the industrial element, but heavy on the chainsaw buzz guitar. I’d like to tell you what the 33 1/3 side sounds like, but my copy has a huge scratch on it and skips so much that it’s rendered unlistenable. Sorry.
