Sloppy Seconds’ “Garage Days Regurgitated” is one of my many finds I picked up from Music Traders that I purchased just off their reputation, and one song off a Nitro Records comp called deep thoughts. This pick up was not in vain, unlike the Doughboys disc I picked up years ago. You know what I should give that a listen.
Back to these “Garage Days Regurgitated”. The first song I heard was “I Wanna Go Home”, which is great compilation of Ramones inspired power chords combined with the raspy lead vocals of BA. BA really puts Sloppy Seconds over the top for me. A lot of people criticize punk of being poor in the vocals department, but I think when you need a fast quick hitting tune a unique growl, or even flat voice like Fat Mike can clash just right.
If I had one criticism for the album it would be that there are only seven songs on it, and they aren’t too much longer than your regular punk song. But you gotta pay for greatness right. Well this album is on the verge of greatness. Poor Little Rich Girl, Kill ( a song that reminds me of the Queers for some reason), and a sweet T.V. Party cover that for me at least is better than the Black Flag original.
This is a later release , so some of the earlier stuff is better, but for me this album is not a disappointment at all.
Here is an earlier video from Sloppy Seconds - "Fifteen Minutes or It's Free."
