Eagulls - Ep (2012) - Vinyl

Leeds based progressive punks EAGULLS follow on from a slew of limited cassettes and 7" releases, with a five track EP on transparent green 12" vinyl. For this EP they've teamed up with Leeds staple; Matthew Johnson (Spectrals, Hookworms, etc) at Suburban Home Studios for a masterclass in indie/hardcore crossover. The five tracks - "Coffin", "Moulting", "No If's, No Buts", "Cripple (Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis)" and "Still Born"; bring to mind melodic slacker rock such as Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr and Sonic Youth amalgamated with Eagulls earlier more brutal sound, influenced heavily by The Wipers, Rites of Spring and Black Flag. This is all delivered with a mischievous Blur-esque charm and The Replacements sense of reckless abandon. This will be the soundtrack to your revolution summer. "Eagulls are absolutely brutal" - NME "Raw, yet strangely anthemic" - Loud & Quiet Style: Independent
