The Continental Kids Power & Pride 8″ EP
More well-done ’77 punk, though there’s a sameness and lack of real fire that ultimately dulls. These KIDS have had plenty of time to liven up, so no excuses for them. Okay pop punk.

The A-side is an unbearable, slow, long, tedious bluesy number never to be heard again. The flip is more in a melodic but tough punk style—OK, but not at all exciting. Disappointing.
Both of these tracks are on the rock’n’roll side of punk, not unlike the quasi-rockabilly approach of NO ALTERNATIVE several years ago. The A-side rocks harder, but neither track is really that gripping.
