The Fits

Peter and the Test Tube Babies / The Fits Pressed for Ca$h split 12″

The PETER & THE TEST TUBE BABIES track, remixed from their second album, boasts some great production values and inventive guitar figures, but still seems a bit uninspired. On the other hand, I found the FITS tracks at least moderately appealing, with its catchy guitar riffing and melodies. Nothing special, though by no means offensive.

The Fits Tears of a Nation EP

Another FITS release with a mixture of fast and slow songs. I like the thrashed-out “Breaking Point” the best, but the slow, measured title cut manages to create quite a build-up of tension.

The Fits The Last Laugh EP

The title song shows lots of promise on this, their third 7″. Pretty s-punky stuff, but the B-side cuts are pretty unexciting.
