RETAINERS: Waste of Time 7" A friend of mine was raving to me about
this band a couple months back. "The only band worth a shit these days
is The Retainers. Get their singles. It will knock your dick in the
dirt," he tells me. Herrmmmm... Okay, I gotta check these guys out.
Let's be honest, there's not a whole hell of a lot in punk rock these
days that is exactly capable of "knocking your dick in the dirt." Two
quick blasts of lo-fi and totally blown out KBD-influenced punk rock
from this prolific outfit. The songs are loud, abrasive, and a bit
loose and jangly. The Retainers do what any worthwhile punk does: they
come on loud and fast and cut it short before you even have time to
collect your thoughts, although the tempo change on the B-side, "Die
Baby Die," allows for some introspection, but still... The A-side,
"Waste of Time," is from their LP on P. Trash. I guess I need to go
shower and get the dirt off my dick. It would be quite strange if I
was just standing over the sink doing this and my wife walked in. "Its
not what it looks like honey!" -M.Avrg (Fashionable Idiots, fashionableidiots.com)

RETAINERS - Waste of Time b/w Die Baby Die
The Retainers are totally
the most exciting new band coming out of the Midwest right now, and
this single is only further evidence to that notion. This is some high
energy, dirty rock n roll. They're just as catchy as Marked Men, and
just as sleazy as Jay Reatard. Both tracks are scorchers, but the
title track is amazing. Highly recommended (Fred Schrunk) (Fashionable
Idiots)

Retainers "Teenage Regrets" EP
Uhhhhh...manic? Yeah. "Teenage Regrets" is my first exposure to Minneapolis' Retainers and it's an impressive outing for sure. I heard The Reatards being batted around as a reference point, which I suppose is common considering tape hiss AND screaming are present on this release. Beyond that, I don't see it. Whatever. Four loud, sharp and short punk tunes here, capable of fulfilling the blast quota for any given record buying month. My favorite tune? Why, it's the instrumental "Blue Jean Attack", of course! Imagine The Feelers or Rat Traps going surf! Impressive enough to make me wanna hear more. (MC)
