O Pioneers!!! / The Anchor - Split 7" KOD 053
This is a re-release of the split 7” that was originally put out in 2008 on Triumph Of Life Records. Side A showcases O Pioneers in their original 2 piece lineup and the song starts out as a mid- tempo jaunt of punk rock energy before careening down the road to darker and more dissonant territory. This song features Eric Soloman at his most furious and accusatory as he shouts his frustration at people that won’t stand up for themselves. The Anchor brings a couple of tracks of gruff punk featuring bouncing bass-lines and hoarsely shouted vocals to their side of the split. I’d imagine that if Jersey’s Best Dancers and Forever and Counting had a baby, it would look a lot like these songs by The Anchor.
