Drugs Don't Last Forever

Now available is a limited 100 edition cassette tape of Long Legged Woman's Drugs Don't Last Forever. Five radical rippers on side A and a thick oily blowout jammer on side B. This is the first release for PSYCHIC SNERTS and what a wonderful way to start some shit with these sludgepackers in my corner. Oh and Kottie Paloma drew the beardo on the cover - sweet! Long Legged Woman moved their unit from Athens to San Francisco this year and they brought with them plenty of teenage muscle to the Bay. This manages to deliver a lot of bitching, moaning, and caveman sludgery over the course of six wonked out tracks. Each song chugs along with brutal beats backing the constant sore throat vocals and wandering squeals and thuds of the everyman guitar riffing. They are definitely pulling pages from the book inked by progenitors of psych punk slackerdom, yet their use of this messed up language seems to come from a very personal place. Each song acts as a note in a journal, bearing its zits and exploits in sweaty abandon. This is a band for the endless basement party where bruising is encouraged and dudes are required to pack their hairy dicks away and just throw a good old prepubescent tantrum. "Well, they started as a good noise/psych/folk band and then jumped on the weird-punk bandwagon with their first 7". Now they've put out this cassette EP which continues the weird-punk styles, and, like the 7", does it well enough not to be dismissed. In fact, I really like the second song on here, in which folky distorto verses are alternated with double-time thrash choruses. It reminds me of that year or two pre-Nirvana when post-punk was becoming grunge all on its own, without any mass media assistance or major label money. A good ratty low budget sound. All five of the tunes on side one are like that, really. Side two is a single noise piece that hearkens back to their original style, more solid than it is mindblowing, but still a nice bookend to a good tape." - BLASTITUDE Tapes come with a nice screen printed poster
