Corker Corker CD
A tidy power-punch eight-track EP for this trio from Baton Rouge. The vocals are raw-throated, earnest shouts like Ryan Young from OFF WITH THEIR HEADS singing for HOT WATER MUSIC. The guitar and bass really shine in the instrumental first minute of the song “To the Good Times” before the vocals kick in. The whole thing has the rough and rushed honesty of an unmastered version of ALKALINE TRIO’s Goddamnit. Two notes: the cover has some cool Picasso-inspired cubist art, and this is not the post-punk band CORKER from Cincinnati.
