All Eyes West + Above Them - Split


I picked this 7" up along with a bunch of other records from Specialist Subject Records - I think they had a sale on, or a discount across everything, so I stocked up. I bought it because I love Above Them and didn't have this song anywhere else. It's a great song so worth the purchase alone - a great fast-paced chorus and could have been a strong song on any of their albums.

All Eyes West are an American band who toured with Above Them in 2011 (which I guess was when this came out), and I saw them together in Kingston. I've not played their song here that much, but it's instantly familiar (but maybe it just sounds like some other gruff punk - hints of Latterman and Iron Chic, with a bit of Leatherface). It's nice, but never set my world on fire.
