Ezra Bang with their 'Gezundhiet Zeitgeist' 7" on Invicta Hi-Fi. This is way too cool for me. It makes me feel like 70 years old. It's like a commercial cheesy dance track with a dose of rawk a bit of mullet electro and a Beastie Boys wannabe vocal... Man this hurts... It really doesn't give me any pleasure to bad mouth records but I cannot tell a lie. My nose is big enough. Although I'm sure there's loads of folks out there that would love to be throwing shapes to this and spilling pints all over each other at the indie disco. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh?? For fans of Hadouken etc...A ONE OFF ULTRA LIMITED 7” ON HEAVY DUTY VINYL.
