From the ice-rink that is Buffalo, NY comes a firecracker of a split 7" that should make any Buffal-killing Queen City Punk proud. Brown Sugar is definitely one of the most entertaining bands I was able to see last year, and their tour ended on a very high note when they shared the stage in Brooklyn with powerhouse players Rational Animals back in December. Their lead singer Eddy takes snotty vocals and space invasion really seriously and, let me tell you, the 4 songs that make up the b side of this split will challenge any iron minded listener to refrain from pillow moshing. Just take in the lovely simplicity of lyrics like "good ol' days/just sticks & rocks/no gunshots/just sticks & headlocks/good ol' days." For back-to-basics nerds, this is a must-listen.
A side??
Mayday! is another Buffalo band and Feral Kid label-mate of Brown Sugar. They remind me a little of the band Morbid Opera from Fla. and the 80's. Surfing is permitted on Lake Ontario and your not going to regret it.

Buy here on Feral Kid and get the Brown Sugar LP for more of the same and better (hint hint: Tropical Disease!)
