Review :: Fist City – Queen of the Slugs b/w Crime Spree

Fist City
Queen of the Slugs b/w Crime Spree
(Pop Echo Records)
Lethbridge, AB
::web/sounds::


From the crime sprees of Aaron Levin:
Southern Alberta’s hilly wasteland continues to explode with Fist City’s anamorphosis from the pop spectrum. Their twin-shriek phenomenon bludgeons us with searing, distorted leads, rolling bass lines, and a bewildering catchiness that has become their harmonic core. Fist City’s debut single is a brilliant sortie from the disempowered rurality of Alberta, charging forward into instant hit and pop satisfaction. Limited to 99-copies and available to Wyrd Alberta patrons exclusively, the 7″ will luckily be rereleased owing to an epic pressing flaw on the b-side. Recommended grippage.

    THAAAANK you for clearing that B-side mess up. Why was it never worked out in test pressings?
