Even Worse Mouse or Rat / 1984 7″
These two live songs by New York’s EVEN WORSE are a bit sloppy and incorporate some heavy metal guitar damage, but the band’s sheer exuberance and chutzpah easily manage to overcome such piddley faults. They’ve got a chaotic, amateur charm all their own, and the singer’s sarcastic onstage raps sound frighteningly like mine. Yeah, I like this record, especially “Mouse or Rat.”
