Slicks I Broke Player / Cherry Roll 7″
Hailing from Hakata, Japan, SLICKS have been at it since 1989, and this 7” is the latest fruit of their long-standing labors and the first new music they’ve released since their 1990s heyday. “I Broke Player” is a snotty number that wears its SEX PISTOLS influence on its sleeve, and “Cherry Roll” on the B-side is a groovier take on the same sound with a lot of thumpin’ bass to bob along to. This triumphant return comes a couple of years after the General Speech and King’s World labels conspired to bring us the Total Filth Collection compilation of the band’s earlier recordings, and should be just as pleasing for budget rock bros and first-wave freaks alike.
