The long awaited official eighth album from Kind of Like Spitting builds on ecclectic past efforts with a scattershot of searing rock, up-in-arms folk, bone-dry ballads and wistful traditionals. You'll hear influences ranging from Phil Ochs and Billy Bragg stretching to Propagandhi! Ben Barnett, singer and songwriter, has also played in The Thermals awhile back, and you can hear this in a few of the tracks as well.

Barnett's songs can rotate between somber, solemn solo pieces, explosive, full-band rock or pop, and songs with his talented friends bringing in other instruments to highlight or create a mood. Between all styles handled by Kind of Like Spitting, though, lies the solid punk ethic and influence and an ability for immense lyrical depth and directness held by truly few.

Mind numbing tunes from two bands from each coast! LEMURIA are a trio from Buffalo, NY that bring 7 new songs of female / male fronted punk with blazing guitar tones and loud as fuck drums. With vocal melodies a la DISCOUNT and riffs in the vein of JAWBREAKER and SUPERCHUNK. Ultra catchy tunes that'll be branded into your brain. KIND OF LIKE SPITTING from Portland offer 5 new songs as a full band, as opposed to a couple of recent releases that have been more folky. Fans of BILLY BRAGG and the THERMALS should definitely check out their side of the split. One song is actually a song is a THERMALS outtake that Ben Barnett (of KOLS) recovered from his days of being in the band. (Description taken from Interpunk)
