Poop Stick (2019)
As I mentioned last week, I'm trying to organize and get through this pile of tapes that I need to write about. This one from The Skitchers seems to have been here sing 2019, which I find crazy, but then again so was last week's tape. And I'm usually so organized.
I like the bright orange artwork and Gleam Another Cube is a pretty funny name for an EP, but there's nothing about the music that I find all that interesting. These are short, fast skate punk songs. Gravel-throated singer, on top of simple guitar riffs and straightforward drum tempos. Is it good skate punk or bad skate punk? Honestly, I don't know as it's not really my bag. It sounds amateurish, but to some that's a selling point I think.
When I'm writing about these kind of bands I run out of things to say pretty quickly. They sound like a high school band that I wouldn't want to go see play. I cannot imagine every listening to this tape again. But skate punk or high school band aficionados might find something in it that I don't, so have at it if that's the sort of thing you're into.
