Anyone else stoked on the 2 7"es and 1 split 7" the ROUGH KIDS released so far? I think they're great. Not the best or most original I've ever heard but definitely an enjoyable spin then and again. Yes, there's room for them to improve but that only makes every new release the more interesting. Of course Recordlabels tend to be a little over-enthusiastic when promoting their roster but the below description from SORRY STATE sure has me on the look out for that record to pop up in a local store or distro. Unfortunately international postage (especially with the announced raise) is killing this one for me but I'm sure I will be able to pick it up sooner or later
Building on the sound of their previous two singles, LA's Rough Kids polish things up for their debut full-length on Sorry State. Benefitting from a bigger, more ambitious sound (including a punchy mastering job by Dave Rahn from the Carbonas), Rough Kids trade in classic punk hooks delivered with an intensity that will snare even the toughest hardcore kids. Lovers of '77 punk will flip for the sick Johnny Thunders licks, fans of modern bands like No Hope for the Kids and the Observers will love the big, dark vocal hooks, and the hardcore kids will bang their fist the entire time. A truly outstanding collection of songs.
The mailorder-only version is limited to 100 copies and features orange vinyl and a hand-screened obi strip.
From what I heard the ltd. version is going fast if it ain't already all gone by now.
If you're not familiar with the band at all or wanna give it a listen first although you are.
