Great EP from the wonderful Art Is Hard Records featuring four YOUNG! NEW! EXCITING! bands. Bought it mainly because one of my colleagues plays bass in Gum, and as it turns out, their song “Cherryade” is my favourite of these four. Total coincidence, honest, guv. But the others aren’t half bad, either. It was released to celebrate the label’s second anniversary.
The vinyl comes with a download code for the release, including four bonus tracks (one of each band).
Which is nice.
