TV FREAKS-s/t (Schizophrenic, 7" EP)
A stormin' follow-up to their album. More rough-hewn garage-infused punk bash. It sounds like the speakers are going to blow for the cacophonous conclusion of "Upper Hand" and they show no let-up on the other three songs here. While the album had a bit of Eddy Current jitter, that's not really noticeable here, except on "Freelancer," and that song sneaks in bit of a hook at the end. That track also has a few similarities with Career Suicide. "Identity Crisis" is dark and pounding before picking up the pace at the end. All in all, this is a concise and relentless statement.
