Sinks-Beat Out My Brains 7"

well Dave G. at the great Rocket Science just posted another classic out of his collection, so i thought i'd do the same. yes this is only 2 years old, but it is a classic. great garage punk from 2008. the Sinks have released other 7"s which are great too, but not as much as this. this was released on the dynamite label, Fashionable Idiots. i just bought about 9 records from their distro. anyway, this was pressed twice. first with 3 different covers limited to 600. then second limited to 100. i like the cover variant with them eating pizza on the street with Little Caesar a lot more then i one i have. the one i have is pretty hard to read (because of the font). but the worst thing is that the record sleeve is filthy. the black ink smears, that's why you'll see smudges on my copy. also that's why i left it in the plastic sleeve to scan it. but it doesn't take away from the sound. great vocals, great riffs, great everything. catchy as hell. enjoy!
1. beat out my brains 5/5 (vocals.)
2. don't wanna go to work 5/5 (guitar.)
3. 3025 5/5 (yes.)
overall: 10/10 strongly recommended
don't be a cheapskate, buy this from the link above. support the great label!

  10. Such an awesome record man! First one is really cool too, though i never heard that "Drove the Sinks" one. I really like Retainers 'Teenage Regrets' 7" which has a few same people in the band.

  13. oh yeah nice find, that's a great record too. but no, sadly i don't have it. Grave Mistake has it on for $2.50 right now, so i might get it there, $1 is a steal.
