Drug Party (2019)
Another tape in the mail. I get a lot of tapes from the upstate New York area for some reason. But as I haven't been buying as many records as I usually do lately, I have time/space to write about random tapes and records that have been piling up for a while. This Slow Cooker cassette is certainly random.
The little note sent with the tapes compared the band to the Dead Kennedys meets the B-52s. That sure did sound like a terrible combination to me and these guys kind of live up to the billing a bit. I hate the the vocals. In fairness, I hate Dead Kennedys vocals as well. And Sleater-Kinney. They all have this affected warble that does absolutely nothing for me.
This sounds a lot more professional than a lot of the tapes that I get sent. It's well recorded and the songs have definitive structures and aren't just chaotic noise. But Slow Cooker are just not writing songs that I like at all.
