Bag Of Hammers (2010)
After enjoying the Little Cuts 7" that came out on Dirtnap, I picked up the band's 1st 7" on Bag Of Hammers records. I'm not sure if I went into this record with my expectations a bit high, but I definitely ended up disappointed. A markedly lower fi affair than the Dirtnap 7"s, the 2 Little Cuts songs on this record just don't do anything for me. Noisy, fuzzy and kind of repetitive. But that's the deal with records, you win some you lose some. Hopefully any future releases by this band will be more like the Dirtnap 7".
Couldn't find anywhere that would let me embed any of the songs, so I'm going to have to subject you to a Myspace link, you can listen to both songs there:

Little Cuts - Plastic Disaster 7" - Red Vinyl /200
Dirtnap Records (2011)
Fronted by Dave Hernandez, a man who has served time in Scared of Chaka and the Shins, this Little Cuts 7" is nothing if not diverse. The A-Side & title track is a 50's throwback, with a sound that builds up with treble-y guitar along with borderline doo wop vocals. The 2nd track, He Finally Must Eat His Own, takes a catchy guitar riff for the verse, builds it up and then breaks the song into chaos during the chorus. The last track, RRHS, is a super sped up shouty assault. It's kind of a crazy ride over the course of 3 songs, but somehow it manages to work. I dig the title track the most personally, and if the band keeps putting out records, I hope that's a sound they spend more time exploring.
