01. Adorno - Life. Love. Don't Need Regret 02. Adorno - Theoretically Driven 03. End of a Year - Michael Ray Richardson 04. End of a Year - Go to Hell, Dickhead
Info
Love this record. A 7 inch split from 2 of the most fresh bands in D.I.Y. punk rock. End Of A Year come from Albany, NY (USA) and they deliver 2 new songs in the old good fashioned punk rock in the vein of Embrace, Rites Of Spring. You all know the sound. Caustic lyrics and a full musical hard-on on their side. 'Michael Ray Richardson' and the noisy 'Go To Hell, Dickhead' are the songs that appear on this record. Flip the side and flip yourself. My cousins from Adorno, the great young band from Lisbon, Portugal, on the other side. Vocal melodies ala At The Drive-In. Pounding bass lines. Amazing 2 emotional songs: 'Life. Love. Don't need regret' a wink to Unbroken and 'Theoretically Driven'. Not Theodor. Just Adorno.

INFO
And the second 7 inch for Adorno available in a few weeks of delay. This split is with the germans from Berlin, Syn*Error. Adorno follows the line of the other 7 inch, in a more melodic path than their first 12". Nice stuff. The 2 songs are: 'Anchors Aweigh' and 'Timeline'. The end for 'Timeline' is one of the most catchy riffs I remember to having ever listened to. Syn*Error offers one song called 'Lowered Expectations' on a 400 years style.
Noisy, distorted, melodic, beautiful, emotive sad sounding music. The songs on here are genuine and honest. It's rare when bands like these come along and stick so close to how this style should sound, but both bands have accomplished this sound to perfection.
