THE WORD ON THE STREET ABOUT THE NEW ii EP:............
....................
..........................................................................................
Post-punk herky-jerky bleakness tackled by a bunch
of punks, which lends it the energy usually devoid in this scene.
One-part BUZZCOCKS, two-parts MISSION OF BURMA, three-parts
FRUSTRATION, and while I'm at it, a big dirty spoonful of WIRE.
The 12" format is perfect"
...... Sean Dougan, Maximum RocknRoll...................................
...................................................................................... .......
"one hell of a record here, delivering on all sorts of big, confident
moves on a familiar canvas, yet one that the band members clearly
respect. Think the sort of action that ATV or Wire would have pulled
back in '78, with the sort of heft that a first-wave revival like the
Volcano Suns swung around with such determination. Four of these
seven songs are better than just about anyone who's gone down this
path, and would stack up to anything off the last two A Frames
albums.You'll just have to pick up the record to figure out which ones.
500 hand-numbered copies, 180g vinyl." ........................................

This 14 track album by Dan Melchior is out now on the Topplers Record Label.
Dan Says... It's a good one I think, very loud and blasted out like the more 'punk' moments on 'Thankyou very much' , but with a good dose of mangled pop too.
Available from good independent dealers in the US and UK or direct from Topplers.
