An excellent sampling of their best live and studio tunes recorded in Philly, a period where they went more for a punk rock style than their Oregon noise days.
Contains the first two AntiSeen EPs, Drastic (’85) and E.P. Royalty (’86). Two ultra-rare early records are now readily available: Can’t go wrong buying this.
The album’s got a real wild, live feel. Tim Kerr produced it, and he likes everybody to get riled up in the studio. Shouting and whooping from all directions.
Exene’s latest project, the Original Sinners, are like “X for beginners.” The band is tighter than X was, and certainly has more musical tricks up its sleeve.
Tsunami Bomb pull off the “chick-fronted punkpop band” well, considering bands like Tilt, Dance Hall Crashers, and (early) No Doubt have done it so perfectly.
Where previous releases saw The Stereo plowing through every song with muscular anthems, Rewind+Record retains the potency without roaring past the listener.
