Kind of a hardcore supergroup featuring the original and best Black Flag frontman Keith Morris (yeah, you heard right Henry Rollins), plus members of Red Kross, Burning Brides and Rocket From The Crypt, First Four EPs is over before you know it.
If brevity be the soul of wit, it's also the modus operandi of these chaps as the longest track weighs in at a massive 1min 33secs. There are no surprises to be found here, it's a big old punk rock punch to the face, with Morris sounding like an angry teenager (or the angry kid he was in Black Flag and Circle Jerks) rather than the 51-year-old man he actually is. It is a touch embarrassing for the young pups in bands these days to realise that a group with the combined age of about 160 is producing music this energetic and thrilling, but that's just how it is with these guys - anger is an energy, as some fella said once. Chris Martin, right?
It's a total blast.
