ANSWER LIES, THE/ TULSA: Split: 7" The Answer Lies blast out four sloppy fast nuggets of sun-baked desert punk a la Scared of Chaka or the Weird Lovemakers. Keep an eye on Las Cruces, NM. It's the next Asheville, for real. Tulsa sure does sound a lot like Hickey, not that that's a bad thing. I hear they used to actually live in Tulsa, but now they're in San Francisco. Both of these bands are great at what they do, but don't really sound much like each other, which always makes for an excellent split. Get this or you're a dumb turd. –Ben Snakepit (Repulsion)RAZORCAKE ANSWER LIES, THE/ TULSA: Split: 7" I love bipolar splits that, on first listen, feel like there's no way that these two bands should be put together. They work as three releases to suit your mood. Here, you can throw on The Answer Lies when you're frustrated and need something fast and aggressive (think when hardcore was just starting to take on its own form). Or, if you're feeling a bit more desperate, but are still able to laugh a bit at yourself (think Hickey), throw on the Tulsa side. But, if you're feeling fine (or really mood swingy) and just want to listen to a pretty awesome slab of wax, go ahead and listen the whole way through. One of my favorite 7"s of the year yet. –Megan Pants (Repulsion/ Big Raccoon) RAZORCAKE
