This 4-way split 7" was came out in the Spring of 1999, with a record release show occurring in May at The Velvet Elvis. Toy Train, which featured a pre A-frames/The Intelligence Lars Finberg, start things off with a burst of hyperactive shouty organ-driven hybrid of both punk and hip hop. Next up is Eternal 13 with a cut of almost radio friendly skate-rock. Next up are The Cripples with a blast of their trademarked lo-fi/high energy synth punk, which contains backing vocals that make the song sound an awful lot like the mutant offspring of a Cripples/Blood Brothers sexual encounter. Finishing up the disc are Aaiiee with a song that sounds awful lot like some of the mid to late 70's New York CBGB's rock bands (eg. The Shirts).

It's actually a 4-way split. the weird symbol under the Cripples is a band as well. I remember seeing fliers around Seattle for that band, not sure I ever saw them though.
ReplyDeleteRight you are. The 4th band is Aaiiee, who've apparently been around for 30 years yet somehow totally escaped me. Thanks for letting me know, I've updated the info
