Shred Yr Face 2 kicks off with a fantastic effort from Sheffield's Rolo Tomassi who've progressed a hell of a lot since the first time I heard them, when they did that 'Film Noir' track and everything. Now they're a massive speed-prog Melt Banana behemoth who'll shred yr face, pull your brains out through the holes and run the fucker over repeatedly like it's Pasolini or something. Fucked Up do a Chain Gang cover that' gentler than their usual fare but it seems no-one's told the singer because he's still going for it like he's ripping up a raging hardcore tune.. Nutter. The Bronx I've not heard for years and their Gun Club cover isn't much more inspiring than their old stuff really, but it's OK. Pogo fun for all the family! Red vinyl that is limited and on Wichita.INDIE STORES EXCLUSIVE 7” SINGLE RELEASE
February 2009 sees the start of the second Shred Yr Face UK tour. This time coming to a town or city near you are The Bronx, Fucked Up and Rolo Tomassi – one hell of a billing!
To coincide with the tour, the three bands have each recorded an exclusive track for a limited edition seven inch which will be exclusively available from Independent & Coalition Record Shops.
This follows the tremendous success of last years Shred yr Face tour & 7” which featured Los Campesinos, No Age, Times New Viking and for which the 7” sold out in less than a week
The Bronx give you their take on a classic by another hard-living LA-based group, The Gun Club. Anyone that has heard The Bronx's versions of Neil Young's “Needle And The Damage Done” or Warren Zevon's “Carmelita” knows that a cover from these dudes is always a hot prospect, and they do not disappoint with “She's Like Heroin To Me”.
Fucked Up present a raw blast through a little known US punk-rock classic from 1977, “Son Of Sam” by Chain Gang.
And Rolo Tomassi deliver a typically intense blast or Melt Banana-esque noise in the form “Apocalypso '09”.
Only 1000 will be made, and all will be on transparent red vinyl.

A1. “Apocalypso '09” performed by Rolo Tomassi
