Die Cut Sleeve. Split coloured vinyl (half lite blue/half dark blue). Catalog Number: EW010 Color: Blue Format: 10" UPC: 8944513677835 The self-titled 10" by Street Stains is a masterpiece that showcases the impressive collective talent of Chris Richards (Q and Not U, TK Echo, Paint Branch) and Sean McGuinness (Pissed Jeans). This material captivates the audience with its abrasive riffs, thought-provoking lyrics, and overall attention to detail. Their debut carries fourteen exceptional compositions that will satisfy even the pickiest punk rockers. However, their version of this particular music genre comes with a twist. Besides all the punk rock fundamentals, you may expect some of the finest properties borrowed from other complementary music genres like garage rock, noise rock, or maybe grunge. Of course, all these additional elements serve more like enhancements, accentuations, decorations, and other details while they remain loyal to the primary sonic direction. Street Stains glide through all the significant eras of these music genres, so you may notice how their music blossoms with the qualities of late sixties to mid-seventies garage rock, late eighties indie and noise rock, and early nineties grunge. Still, the duo combines all these with all the eras that made punk rock sound incredibly catchy, energetic, aggressive, and dynamic.
