First, some good news: a few re-upps have been released from Kraken and you'll surely find them. What's going on today? Brilliant stuff by the Pagans, a four piece from Cleveland and active from 1977-1979. Members were Michael (vocals), Tommy (guitars), Tim (bass), Brian (drums), they reformed several times, with new incarnations and this is their second 7Inch on Drome (1st pressing limited to 1700 copies), and both tracks are pure energy, and the flip side is a damn anthem with the profound question "What's This Shit Called Love?" and that, my dear friends, is what I've been asking myself for fifty years. "Can’t beat it - this classic single has been reissued in limited supplies and should not be passed up. Raw, awesome raging Punkrock!" (Tim Yohannan, MRR #31 • December 1985) Does anyone have an answer? Of course, it always takes two, like with tango, and over a long lifetime you think you know what you're doing, but somehow there are high hurdles and also stupidity that prevent a harmonious relationship, things that just don't fit. Yes, yes, that sounds negative, but unfortunately, those are my experiences, although I don't want to conceal the positive aspects either. Anyway, the Pagans conjure up some impressive music, and their repertoire is surprisingly large for a band that hasn't been around for very long. Take it!
