Try this out on a new person or a jaded fuck with
easy-to-push buttons. “Dude, have you heard that Black Flag/Dwarves split 7”?
Then put this on without letting them see the label or cover. If any eyebrows
of incredulity are raised, go, “From ’84. They were playing that Slip It In bullshit and decided to
stop wanking around for a couple of songs. The Dwarves were just starting out.
Super rare.” If that still doesn’t work, go, “Oh, it was members of Youth Of
Today when they lost their edge. The non-Buddhist dudes who didn’t go into
Shelter.” But what it really is, is just two great Chicago bands losing their
shit in the best possible way, and one of them throws in a Breeders cover that’s
mangled like a slow possum on an unrelenting freeway with its dead, popping eye
following your every movement.

From the classy title right down to the separation
of Speed and Weed (instead of side A & side B), this split seven-inch
promises nothing except the fact that four different bands with similar sounds
will entertain you for about five minutes. I have to say that the art of the
seven-inch has been lost on this generation, and its trip and fall into punk
rock’s many subgenres. With that being said, it’s nice to see some folks (who
are most likely a touch older) keeping it alive. Realistically, there wasn’t
one song out of the four that gave me that climbing-the-ropes-in-gym-class kind
of feeling. But I wouldn’t say any of it was bad, and I did get a kick out of
the subtle poetry of the Sass Dragons tune entitled “Young
Professionals Can Suck My Fucking Dick.” Who said rock 'n’ rollers can’t be
gentlemanly? Three stars and an “E” for effort. - Jack Gregory
