FOREIGN OBJECTS

 



If it seems like I've been on a bit of a 2010s deep dive lately....perhaps that's because you are perceptive. Maybe I just missed a lot from that era, maybe I just blind grabbed from a shelf that happened to have a lot of nuggets all hanging out together, but I'm not complaining and I don't think the minions will be either after they revisit (or are introduced to) FOREIGN OBJECTS. Sharp, urgent Boston punk with fierce femme vocals right up front drawing from '90s Olympia as much as early punk. There's a killer three band split with DAYLIGHT ROBBERY and DEFECT DEFECT and I kinda feel like that a perfect place to squeeze this band in, though the distinctive vocals are such a huge focal point that it's really hard to try to put them in a box with any other band/s. And this tape appeared in 2011 (a format variant of the Vinyl Rites 12" released the same year) because that's apparently the year I'm supposed to be paying attention to at the moment. Focus Track: "Words Of War."

omg, thanks for including this one! i have this tape (from a show at blackwater records in portland in 2011), and it's great to now have the digital files. i fucking love this one, i love that the tape is the same on both sides so you can just flip it and repeat, repeat, repeat.
