The evidence presents itself accusingly

Kris Roe does The Get Up Kids

This is sort of a bitter sweet post for me, I love The Get Up Kids and “Something To Write Home About” is one of my favourite albums ever, so this cover by Kris Roe of “The Ataris” made me smile, not only because he did “Holiday”, but the fact that the rasp in Kris’s voice is back so sorta made me remember “End is forever” era Ataris as well. So for those reasons alone and a nice trip down memory lane for all of us, back to when The Ataris were good and The Get Up Kids were around… here’s the cover. It’s not necessarily the best cover but i’ll have to stick it in good covers because those elements just make it.

Shaking, like a dog shitting razorblades

First post of the new blog, it kinda feels wrong to slam Sam Duckworth in this post. However if you’re gonna attempt possibly my most favourite song of all time, ffs do it well!!!
