Reviews: ‘
‘From folk and ethnic to freedom and postpunk skronk.’’

‘‘This record is a joyful testimony to music's continuing ability to communicate ideas. They have opened up their frenetic grind to encompass 1,000 different rhythms. They're caught up in something unique.’’

Ex Records, 1989

Those Deep Buds
by Dog Faced Hermans

What John Madsen wrote in his review, I agree. If you are new to this tremendous band, this album is perhaps the best introduction – Great Album. The Choice-To-The-Creators! song was the initial pull in the USA back in 1994. The Whole album work is, how shall it be put? Unassailable in its greatness. Not too much time left we are told. But there is plenty to come correct. MingTubbs

Coriky

supported by 9 fans who also own “Joggers & Smoggers”

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer
