Gold Cup Beyond a Joke cassette
The fourth release for Manchester, UK’s GOLD CUP in just over a year. Five songs of driving, mid-tempo rock’n’roll-infused punk. GOLD CUP does a really interesting job of peppering in a number of different sub-genres, keeping your attention without ever really leaving the mid-tempo range. There’s elements of post-punk, artsy punk, a dash of egg-punk, a snifter of garage punk for good measure. It’s a veritable potpourri is what it is. They even culminate with an absolute strutter of a song, with sleazy guitar riffs that could rival the catchiness of JUDAS PRIEST. Here’s hoping GOLD CUP keeps up the productivity and keeps the releases cranking out.
