I think, this is the debut EP by the Magic Splatters, a Frankfurt based quartet who was active in the Rhine-Main region during the nineties, who back then had a reputation as a notorious, hard partying band. Released on the French label Adrénaline Records, the EP comes in a simple foldout sleeve made of thick cardstock available in five different cover colors; it is hand numbered (500 copies) and includes a small insert and is a classic, lovingly DIY production. The four track EP delivers raw, unvarnished '77 Punk: fast, aggressive melodies and snarly vocals paired with simple, driving three chord riffs. The lyrics are typical of the Frankfurt scene: direct, slightly self-deprecating, and free of politically correct frills. It charges relentlessly forward, leaving no time to catch one’s breath. It is a perfect document of the Nineties Frankfurt underground: unpolished, high energy, and recorded with a wink. It strikes a perfect balance between angry Punk and nice catchy sounds. A cynical reckoning with societal constraints & philistinism. You will to love it.
