What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Brian feeling happy.

After moaning to the gaffer that he's just basically left me a very axe driven pile of music to cut a swathe through, I slap on DISCO DRIVE's 'Nice Price Rock 'n' Roll' 7" & reel back in surprise. Jerky, rolling & discordant with a sneering post hardcore attitude melded with a rabble rousing Clash/At The Drive In/Drive Like Jehu dynamic.A good punker unity anthem with it's heart firmly set in the glory days of the early 90's. The flip side 'Never Been Sick' is smart stuff too. Melodic but off kilter, flailing drums tripping over time changes, solid grooving bass, good biting vocal harmonies & shards of guitar melting into chiming codas. The kind of band that has me rooted to the spot in a pub backroom on a Thursday night, pint in hand, gawping for England. Class. On Red Cars Go Faster

What the label says:

Remember the old indie/emo/punk records that paved the way for all the recycled crap we have now? Indian Summer, Boy's Life, Drive Like Jehu, Giant's Chair, etc.; remember the way such records used to sound, before anyone had a blueprint for it? Enter Torino, Italy's Disco Drive, a band with just that type of edge. At moments poppy punk, at moments as art-pop as The Crownhate Ruin on a particularly bitter day, and always surrounded by high calibre drumming, crisp guitars, and energetic vocals, Disco Drive grasp a pop-punk style melded with an east coast hardcore sound. The shift in styles and moods is handled well, moving from palatable upbeat rhythms to enjoyable experimental sounds. Worth checking out.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
