We were pretty proud to be able to declare “Always On” sold out, but as it turns out we were slightly premature. Four copies have just been unearthered, so it’s back up on the site! For a little while at least. Order away! And why not pick up their new one while you are at it? And the new Reports records, and the new Life Partners record, and that Art Yard single…
Art Yard – “The Law” b/w “Something In Your Eyes” (Ride the Snake)
Archival, early 80s Boston recording that sits comfortably between the melodic energy of La Peste and the angular builds of Mission of Burma’s now iconic attack. The A-side presents a focused, tightly wound blast of nervous post-punk as satisfying as it gets. Rhyming FBI chief Melvin Purvis with “Sense of Purpose”? Sure, why not. The B-side is a break up lament that retains the same tools but slows things down enough to supply a counterpoint to the former tracks punch, yet still has plenty of action in the guitars. Originally released in 1981 on a cassette compilation, Art Yard finally get the single they deserved.
