Jonesin' / Shang-a-LangSplit [7 inch] (2008)Dead Broke / Dirt Cult Reviewer Rating: Contributed by: Brian (others by this writer | submit your own) Published on October 28th 2008
Jonesin' represent Holbrook, NY on the A Side, a little town that's just a short drive from my house, actually. If you look at the scorecard (recorded at the Hobo House with ex-'Latter man' Phil Douglas; buds with Douglas' new band, Iron Chic; ex-members of gruff LI punks Down in the Dumps), you probably already know what this sounds like. If you don't, it's super competent, upbeat punk with whiskey-shattered vocals unfortunately low in the mix. Granted, that last detail isn't exactly a prevalent trait--more just a slightly disappointing tick to this particular recording. Nonetheless, "Birds" and "Lost" are quick, swift, solid jams. Nothing mind-shattering, mind you, but a decent holdover between whatever Kiss of Death or No Idea is releasing this month and the next.

shang-a-lang's cover is straight dope. Score is for Shang-A-Lang I like the Get Bent demo a little better than this. Next to Iron Chic, they're probably doing the best post-Latterman Latterman sound around. Review coming Friday if I can find some time. i fucking love Get Bent. i've been meaning to check out Jonesin' and Get Bent. Down in the Dumps were decent. | Features
