JJ And The A's: S/T 7"
JJ and the A’s release their debut 6 track EP and it’s a barrage of punk nuggets that explode out of the speaker. The treble is on full and the bass down low as the Danish/Barcelona powerpunk band unleash hell and fury. This is punk from the golden eras of the late 70’s and early 80’s and even a bit of early 90’s from people who have been involved in hardcore scene for all of their adult lives. It’s relentless and is an absolute fireball of speed and energy. Think a mix of Gorilla Angreb, Screamers, Spits, Rip Off Records and those classic Killed by Death 7”s that now are worth thousands. Get your dancing shoes on and enjoy every last second of this gem that came out of nowhere. (Sean Forbes)
Our take: Blistering, hooky punk from this Copenhagen / Barcelona band on their debut 6-song 7”. The label’s description mentions the Spits and Rip Off Records and I hear that in the jittery 16th notes, but it’s tinny in an almost industrial way that makes me think of Metal Urbain or the Screamers. As important as the frantic rhythms and noisy textures are the hooky vocals, which are bathed in distortion but brimming with melody. I also love that there are six songs here... they’re in and out quickly, but cover a lot of range, from the bashing hardcore tracks like “Show Me” to the more tuneful “Head in a Vat” and the brooding “The Shrew.” Energy, hooks, distortion… what’s not to like?
