Nobunny - Maximumrocknroll 7'' (Goner, 2012)

Rating: 6.5 baseball schedules out of 10

Five songs under eight minutes, and the whole thing sounds like it was recorded on a boombox with a broken microphone...Nobunny might have really outdone himself on this one. Opener "Assholes" sounds like a tribute to the Circle Jerks, is my favorite song on the EP, and is ripe to be included in any and all mix tapes you make after you hear it.  The next three tracks are sloppy junker one-offs that I doubt he spent any more time thinking up than he did recording them.  Then the final track "Lizards Liars and Sluts for Hire" closes the album nicely, sounding the closest to a regular Nobunny song, although still recorded like shit.  I can deal with the lo-fi, it was how I was first introduced to the dude, but the quality doesn't beg you to re-listen to this often.
