Karp - Prison Shake 7"
(Up)
Karp's self-titled album on K Records is among the hardest hitting rock records
recorded.
Nirvana's "Bleach" is the closest comparison I can come up with. There's just enough
pop to
make it seem okay that you are listening to metal. Karp's thickly distorted bass
dispels any
possibility of treading into lite-metal territory. It's all rock, all the time.
This 7", their swan
song, is a continuation of what they did on that self-titled album. The B-side, "Rowdy," has
a change to
half-time that is so Black Sabbath it makes me want to tear the sleeves off of my
t-shirt. This 7"
is so good that it almost seems unfair that they broke up after releasing it.
