Lefty Loosie / Pear Of The West - Split 7" RR 007 / Snuff 105
Lefty Loosie: Picks up right where the full length left off, really catchy poppy punk. Addie’s voice sounds a little smoother on this (I’d make some sort of switching beers joke to be clever, but what do I know about partying?), and I think Katherine sings on this too, and I like it when more people sing. Rad. Pear Of The West: I’m torn on this, but not in a bad way. They sound just like a Japanese Unlovables, (catchy female vocals and a lot of little noodley guitar parts) who happen to be one of my favorite local pop punk bands. Like, I love them, and they’re my buds. But, Pear Of The West is from Japan, so they’ve got that going for them. So good! Screw decisions, I’m saying it’s like apples and square watermelons (in hindsight, is that racist? I just really love making Simpsons references). –Joe Evans III (Repulsion)
