MISSING SHADOWS, The – Western Waste – LP (P.Trash Records)

Playing in the league of new German bands with teams like THE TOYOTAS, TATORT TOILET or THE GRIZZLY ADAMS BAND, these 5 foxes climb up position after position with their very authentic and outstanding sound. Their fine debut is comprised of 12 stirring mid-tempo and more hectic up-beat tracks, mixing the melodic, yet raspy ”Land Speed”-era HUSKER DU guitarwork with ANGRY SAMOANS’ catchiness, GUN CLUB’s playful feeling for melodies and an explicit coloring of early 80s German-Punk a la TOXOPLASMA (especially the singer’s offensive vocal skills), crowned with melodic singalong choruses. Could easily be associated with Swedens VICIOUS approach to provide us with catchy, snotty tunes. Comes in a cardboard sleeve with “inside out” print.
