COOL SINGLE DEPT.: Have you been wondering what Eric from the OBLIVIANS has been up to lately besides releasing records, running one of the best stores in the country, playing reunion shows and being one of the most righteous dudes in the game today? Well, he's amassed a line-up of some of the heaviest dudes in the Memphis area and started a band called TRUE SONS OF THUNDER and their on one side of this split with a song called "Butt Bong" and it sounds like...wait for it...FLIPPER. But they really sound like Flipper. This song is a 3 minute long car crash in slow-motion, with some guy reading the newspaper over it. Ridiculous. I heard they break stuff when they play live too. Hide the children. The other side of this black disc is from Alabama's finest, WiZZARD SLEEVE, and it's titled "Setting Fire To Your Loft". It has great lyrics (that I think are frighteningly autobiographical) and is teeming with organically grown mushroom-influenced death synth-punk sounds with vocals straight from Sleazeville, USA. I mean, I really believe him when he says he's going to "take a shit on your bathroom floor". These synths sound like they were stolen from John Carpenter's non-existent score to Deadbeat at Dawn. I fucking hate split singles, but...(Jeth-Row Records)
