Tight Genes- Viet Songs For Viet Kongs 7”.  I've been playing playing the shit out of this single for a good while now and just waiting for it to get boring or to come to some realization that they're just not as good as I'm thinking they are. But it's not happening. I'll just come out and say that this single is one of my favorite platters of the year. The fact that no one else is talking them up frightens me. While Floridas the Tight Genes may be jumping off cliffs that the Black Lips have scaled before in the first song, the Tight Genes bring something different to the table at the same time. Namely a wilder punk approach with less reverance for Sixties standard bearers. And they back it up with three more punk infected rock ‘n roll tunes that sound like a shambolic combination of the Real Kids, the Reatards, the Cramps and Ramones. The songs are held together by gobs of of wildly oscillating guitars firing off four defiantly desperate rock'n'roll tunes with shambolic finesse. Fun single if you’ve never heard of these guys. Import from Sweden.
