YELLOW PRESS - s/t LP
Highly recommended.
Nicely priced. One copy only.
From San Francisco formed in early 2003, featuring ex-members of TORCHES TO ROME and HOUSEBOY, with a mixed bag of hardcore and new wave influences, banged their way into every warehouse-space and art gallery in the city, while touring extensively and releasing two CDep's on their own label.
Not since Brooklyn introduced LIARS or LES SAVY FAV have so many kids caught on word-of-mouth to how ridiculously fun a YELLOW PRESS live-performance was. Built around a solid rhythm-section and grounded in a grumbling bass that might actually get physical, the boys add a swirling keyboard and stabbing guitar lines to create short, punchy songs without the gimmicks employed by most post-punk bands.
Danceable and melodic, yet wholly unique in style and approach. This 12" contains all 9 songs from both their (now sold-out) CDep's, for the first time and exclusively available on vinyl.
