The Tinopeners I Want You / I Don’t Wanna Be 7″
This one’s a bit of an oddity, as one side of the 7” seems to be an incomplete track from the band’s only four recordings ever put to tape. Regardless, it’s cool to see this type of archival work in the flow of punk history. Belfast’s the TINOPENERS were short-lived, but “I Don’t Wanna Be” shows they had a solid knack for power pop. It’s hard to really say where they could have gone since they called it quits so young, but this release is worth checking out for punk historians and bop-appreciators alike.
