Gino and the Goons Announce Split LP w/ Chinese Junk
One of my favorite things about the American punk rock sound is that it was a no frills bit of belting, at least the sort that I gravitated towards. This new tune from Gino and the Goons completely embraces that sound, making it the perfect escapist banger for this early morning. The thumping of the drums works a furious pace into the mix, allowing for the buzzsaw guitar sound to hit you smack in the face; it’s best if this song is listened to at maximum volume in order to clean your ears out! If you’re digging it, the band just announced a split with Chinese Junk for Big Neck Records.
This track is a big mood. That’s what the kids these days say, right? Anyways, “Rats” is a splash of cold water to the face, a no-nonsense, cut and dry guitar-driven ripper that is made to leave the confines of your earbuds and be blasted at full volume. Richard Vain is a band, not a person. While it initially began as a solo effort, it is now a three piece, featuring ex-members of the Ponys and Bare Mutants. It’s quick and to the point: punk drums, grunge-y guitars tearing it up, vocals not quite at a shout, but spat at you with proper conviction. Perhaps you’ll be like me and turn this one up loud and pretend the world doesn’t exist, if only for two minutes. Night Jammers, Richard Vein’s debut LP, will be out on December 7th on Big Neck Records.
