The Gain – Highway To Heck (Live): Vinyl, 10″, 33 ⅓ RPM

Description

Man this is such a fun record. What’s fun is realizing how much the band already had to work with, pursuing their obvious love for three-chord forebears like the Dickies, The Jam and the Ramones to energetic if not revelatory ends. With witty, snarky vocal delivery and slashing guitars lead snarler Steven Pilace’s balance of disaffection and nervous, goofy passion is smeared all over this gritty Punk Rock winner showing his effective, amped-up approach to the chewy, feedback-heavy, melodic Punk that’s influenced him and the rest of the band. Includes a printed insert. Members of the band went on to form Big In Japan and the Dirty Filthy Mugs.
