Brand new two song punisher from the demigods known to us earthlings as the Brainbombs. "I Need Speed" follows Brainbombs song formula #1A, that is, they pummel the shit out of one single riff for the duration of the song, whilst someone strangles a couple of saxophones in a dark basement, throughout which seemingly backwards-masked lyrics are spat out in guttural English, the gist of which is that "I NEED SPEED...". A really good time, but it gets better..."End Up Dead" crushes yet another riff with all the subtlety of a Panzer rolling through the ruins of a demolished European village with a loudspeaker mounted on it blaring the words to the song, most of which are "...END UP DEAD..." until a martian death saucer catches up with about a minute left and really lays waste to everything. An even better time than the A-Side. Once again Brainbombs take you to the edges of good taste and sensibility to test your endurance for what might be the final word in modern music. What can compare to this? This record will eat anything you put in front of it. In my opinion, their best single since the Anne Frank EP, which I just realized was released over fifteen fucking years ago. This record will ruin your life, and I mean that in a completely positive way. Scums stats: 300 on red vinyl. (C/U: entire pressing)(RK)
