Leather - Leather EP (2012 Skeleton Head Records)

This is a 2012 7" version of a 2009 cassette.

I love this band. They have the mix of confidence and reckless abandon I find lacking in a lot stuff I listen to. I hear raw early Nirvana mixed with later Black Flag; you may hear something else entirely, as comparisons are not my strong suit. This isn't as good as the Anchorite EP, but that's a very high bar, as that's one of my favorite records of the last decade.

1. Addicted To Suffering
2. No Motivation
3. Ejaculation Without Orgasm
4. Too Tired

It'll just lead you back here (unless you are reading this on Facebook, in which case, uh, disregard this whole post), but of you are on Facebook anyways, go ahead and follow there if it'll make your life more convenient. 

Sinkhole - Tumble Mat EP (1995 Dr. Strange Records)

Mid 90's Boston pop-punk, though there would be no shame in confusing Sinkhole for  a West Coast/Cruz Records band. This is not an EP I thought I'd need to rip. I thought this was a pretty common EP, and maybe it is, being a Dr. Strange release, but I don't see it on any of the usual outposts, and the two b-side tracks  (including a Pat Benatar cover) do not appear on any other releases. 

1. Tumble Mat
2. Weed
3. Heartbreaker
