Vanbuilderass / When Puberty Strikes Split EP (1994 Toybox Records)



Couple of Gainesville bands who are probably known more for their comp tracks (especially Vanbuilderass) than their meager-yet-excellent catalogs. Released in 1994 on a tiny label, but go to any punk "fest" in 2019 and you'll hear a bunch of bands emulating Vanbuilderass, even if they've never heard of them. Great stuff. When Puberty Strikes is also really good, perhaps even excellent, but doing a split with Vanbuilderass would make almost any band sound inferior by comparison.

Side rant for Discogs nerds: This cover is obviusly tow people shouting the band names, hence the explanation points. Just a gimmick specific to this release. Yet Discogs purists feel this justifies adding "Vanbuilderass!" and "When Puberty Strikes!" as ANV's. Stupid.
