Sheer Terror UK8? EP
Long-running NYHC stalwarts toss a bit of a curveball with a tip of the (I assume Yankees) cap to their punk roots. As you may have surmised, this EP consists of three ’80s UK punk covers. It’s an interesting selection with songs originally by the PARTISANS, UK SUBS, and DISCHARGE. Tough to fuck up such great source material too badly, and with SHEER TERROR being a well-oiled hardcore machine, they pull it off adroitly. There’s not much deviation from the source material, but it is kinda cool to hear Paul Bearer croning a bit on “Blind Ambition.”
