EPSILONS - Killed 'em Deader 'n a Six Card Poker Hand LP

Opened to check if colour vinyl. Black vinyl only as it turns out.

Highly recommended.

Did someone say The Mummies?

"Ty Segall may be a household name in the modern garage-punk scene, but many are unaware of his previous band who released two mighty records in 2006 and 2007. They were mere lads, [barely] accomplished beyond their young years, but genuine teenagers making genuine teenage punk rock.

This, the second of their two LPs, sounds like dark carnival music from a SoCal county fair on the wrong side of the tracks looking through the same Funhouse mirror previously distorted by the likes of the Mummies, Thee Oh Sees, and countless other backyard heroes spewing classic doses of house party madness.

There's mondo guitar, bass, drums, and plenty of organ and vocal creep to keep us on our heels 'n toes. Epsilons love how it throbs and stings and so do you. It will make you dance and sing along, make you grab another cold one, and make you tell your friends how good this record is and how if they're gonna listen to Ty Segall, then they need to 'get his early shit with Epsilons, man!' cuz THAT is where the action is.

Released by the venerable LA label Retard Disco on CD in the summer of 2007, and issued here for the first time on vinyl by Chicago label Captcha, who released [in their previous label incarnation as HBSP-2X] the utterly awesome Ty Segall odds n'sods compilation Horn The Unicorn.

Buy this in bulk, hide it in the trunk, and take it across the border. As sonic currency, it's weightier than gold."- J. MCARDLE
