You might be inclined to deduce from the album jacket that The Side Effects were of garage/psych rock stock, but low and behold you'd be mistaken. In fact, this long defunct Athens, GA trip had something more alluring and challenging to offer. Post-punk was more their bag, albeit not of the brooding variety. The commencing "Raining" massages a Gang of Four riff, retooled by
leadman Kit Swartz's chiming staccato aplomb. "French Forest" is doubly more enticing sounding like a spot-on merger of Pylon and Mission of Burma, and "Through With You" delightfully finagles a descending arpeggio you can take to the bank. Bassist Jimmy Ellison passed away from a brain tumor not long after this record hit the market. This ep, so far as I can, tell was the only release to the band's credit, save for an appearance on the Squares Blot Out the Sun compilation.

Thanks for the music. Can you upload the discography or some album of "The Field Mice"?

I know that a lot of the Field Mice catalog is available on iTunes and Amazon, so I really can't share much by them. Maybe some demos or live material at some point.
Thanks for the reply. I found some cds of this band on an old hard drive.
I do not remember which blog I downloaded.
I upload them to zippyshare, if you don't want to put them on your blog, I apologize and delete them.
Sorry for my English, I'm not English speaker.
