This 'lil slab of wax is nothing short of a barnburner. The long-running (and now sadly defunct) Seattle denizens The Fastbacks get their punk on in a big way here, rampaging through three UK Subs covers within the span of a mere five minutes! As intense as anything you're likely to hear this side of a Dead Kennedys or early Bad Religion record. The Meices, who we've previously discussed here, careen their way down Remake Road as well, delivering a blaring, hyper-distorted treatment to the Sonics cult-classic, "She's Waiting." Something tells me the meters in the studio this ditty was tracked at bleed well into the red. Truthfully, the Meices overdo it, but their enthusiasm is without peer.

Thanks a million! Never even knew this existed!
Damn the FBX rule (and I'd never heard of this one either...)
Man, I have this and never knew that these were UK Subs covers. I just thought they went through some ultra-punxs phase. This record seems more special now.
