If not an outright cold case, Minneapolis'
Roy G Biv didn't exactly leave behind a proverbial trail of crumbs with the exception of this disk. This quartet clocked in/out circa that late '80s era when punks were slowing down a notch and getting more tuneful. Ramshackle, albeit not particularly abrasive these boys could've rubbed shoulders with contemporaries the Nils and Junk Monkeys, when they felt enthused enough to apply themselves to such inspired nuggets as "Off My Path" and "Poor Little Baby." Four songs does not a long record make, and frankly, "Carousel" could have used some editing, usurping a valuable five+ minutes here. The folks that put together the
Homework cd-r comp series must have been impressed, as "Off My Path" appeared on
volume 4.
