Say-10 (2023)
Hey, it's my favorite band from Finland, Custody. Talk about a band that can just do no wrong, in my opinion, they are easily one of the best and most consistent bands that are currently active. While they are gearing up for their third LP, we have two new songs courtesy of a new, Lathe Cut 7" on Say-10 records.
If you are unfamiliar with Custody, I'm not sure how you are even reading my dumb website. But in any case, they are a perfect, melodic punk rock band that wears their Samiam and Leatherface influences on their sleeve. The channel a furious dual-guitar attack, with impassioned vocals and a seemingly never-ending supply of hooks. If it's not clear, I love these guys and the two new songs on this record are every bit as good as their prior output.
The record itself is a lathe cut, double sided on clear plastic (I guess?). It doesn't sound as good as a traditional vinyl record. It's a little flat and not as full sounding. My copy is kind of all over the place with certain parts of songs sounding fine and other parts being a little blown out. But in general it does a serviceable job delivering the music and it looks really nice. I would have preferred a proper 7", but I certainly understand the financial constraints of that particular format these days. I'm just happy to have some new tunes by one of the best bands going.
