This is a great garage/rock/punk/power-pop EP. The frontman James Darroch died earlier in the year it was released, 1986. I believe it was vehicular thing. Before Eastern Dark he played bass with Celibate Rifles. I’m not sure why exactly, but I have a lot of music from Australian garage rockers. Maybe I should move there.

    “I have a lot of music from Australian garage rockers” …bring on the Beast of Bourbon!

    Let’s make that plural G Money. It’s Beast(s) of Bourbon. Who knows what lurks in the Bs? Maybe we’ll catch the BOB on the next pass through.
