Northern Liberties – Erode and Disappear (Maximum Rocknroll #240, May 2003)

This has an indescribable old quality to it. HICKEY comes to mind at certain points, given the diversity of the arrangements and the surreal bent of the lyrics, but it’s nowhere near that brilliant. I can hear some BUZZCOCKS, which I always enjoy, but for the most part this band refuses to define itself. I’ve always seen that as a good thing, but if you scare easy and don’t want your precious punk bands to play anything but GORILLA BISCUITS covers, avoid this. Still, I’m kind of partial to it.
