The Ideals were a cool three piece from Austin and active in the Eighties and the band consisted of Davey (vocals/guitars), Richard (vocals/bass), Arthur (drums). This is their debut EP with four nice goodies which were recorded Live At Raul's Club in Austin on 18. September 1980. Their style combined the rough elements of Punkrock with melodic hooks and it is fascinating how they mixed the local scene with their own influences and left a lasting impression. The Ideals' High Art! EP is a remarkable work that showcases their signature sound and lyrical themes well. Combining energetic riffs with catchy melodies, the EP reflects the social and personal issues that are typical of the band. The lyrics are often provocative and thought-provoking, while the music combines the raw energy with a modern twist. The sound quality is clear and powerful, which enhances the intensity of the three immensely. I appreciate the mix of nostalgic influences and fresh ideas that this little piece of wax offers. Overall, a good example of the Ideals' ability to combine their wild sound while addressing relevant topics. Fucking good!
Hi buddy, Thank you for this genius EP.
