I always have to ask myself where and how Slovenly finds such awesome completely unknown European bands on a constant basis (Acid Baby Jesus and JC Satan for example). Who knows, really?
But they've done it again, this time with a too fast to live, too young to die blast of scuzzy punk rawwk from Italy's THEE OOPS. Hardcore punk at its pure essence, this double shot double 7 inch, HAPPY CHARLIE, is raging fucking speed addled mayhem I haven't heard since Black Flag and Minor Threat.
Holy shit, this one's a keeper. This one's even more in your face than their previous album, Taste of Zimbabwe. With a punk so furious, you'll be flipping this record over and over and over again non stop, shotgunning PBRs in between sides, and maybe even forming your own mosh pit if you have too.
This is a punk rock party boiled down to four sides of LOUD RIOTOUS PUNK ROCK just like it should be. (there's even an early beastie boys cover to keep the riot going.)
Thee Oops might just be the lost delinquent child of the early 80s west coast punk scene. If you have albums from the Germs, Fear, JFA or Negative Approach, grab this Happy Charlie EP now.
Punk rock is still alive and frothing at the mouth.
thank god......
