The end of the postal strike in Canada (for now) heralds the arrival of bills (bad) the “Stephen King Rules” t-shirt that I ordered online like six weeks ago (good!) and Tongan Death Grip’s LP Chula Vista (yeah better!) which you may have read about here. What I’ve heard is really good, lemme tell ya, and it will sound even better on vinyl. If you like fun, peppy power-pop that’s fast as fuck, you should really get one before they all disappear. If you are in Halifax, email guitarist Craig Hamlin at craighamlin@hotmail.com to get your very own copy, or you can be fancier and get it from the estimable P-Trash Records site here. I believe it will also be available at Obsolete Records.
