Angel Face Take Me Back / Night and Day 7″
From Tokyo supergroup ANGEL FACE, “Take Me Back”/”Night and Day” is a classic one-two rock punch. With Fink (TEENGENERATE, RAYDIOS) and Toyozo (FADEAWAYS) handling the strings, the band’s impressive pedigree sets expectations high, and this tight single rises to the occasion. The A-side is an awesome upbeat pop-punker with a sickly-sweet hook; the kind of tune that does that neat trick of making heartbreak seem kind of fun. On the B-side, “Night and Day” comes in sounding like it’s about to be a cover of “Detroit Rock City” before breaking into a formidably infectious boogie complete with sing-along chorus. Flip it over and over and over and over.
