Shoes This High – “Straight to Hell” – [Siltbreeze Records]

humana   4/9/2014   12-inch, A Library

We have Bob Sutton and his tape archives to thank for the existence of this album, which, in addition to the 1981 7″ that is also in our library, are the only evidence of the fleeting existence of this New Zealand band. The songs are fairly short, full of explosive post-punk energy and in-your-face lyrics, impressive guitars, bass, and drums. Play it during safe harbor and let it channel your subconscious anger.
