A GIANT DOG - Fight LP

2012 original pressing.

rec: VG+ cvr: NM

Includes d/l code.

Highly recommended.

Not only is this platter a great chunk of meaty punk sizzlers, but man, it's flat out head-scratchingly overdue for these vets (get it!  VETS!!!! Do-oi-oiii...).

Female pipes yowlin' on top o' dissonant hooks knee deep in country-fried, blues-tinged LA punk musicality a-la The Eyes and Flesh Eaters in ye olde songwriting department is on point.

We guess the inevitable comparison here is to X, but swap Billy Zoom's pretty production with the drunken scuzzy sheen enlisted to do the master's bidding!  Oh, and SABRINA ELLIS delivers ten-fold as front woman. Great pipes serving her rendition of a less-throaty Exene but with way more range and great, creeping, soulful yowl.  What a bitch (Get it!?! A FEMALE DOG!! Ooofffff!!!).

It all wickedly compliments the lyrical content of Cashen/Ellis' tunes/blasted punk rocking underneath. This 15-track long player SMOKES!

""The raucous, low-rent squall quakes with affirmative abandon, while a just-right dose of pop girds the buzz and yowl." - Austin Chronicle
