Cole were our own local answer for Codeine, one of my all-time favorite bands.  The vocals for Cole are different, a little gruffer, but musically it's almost like they were a Codeine cover band.  I dug this seven inch when I bought it years ago, but hadn't heard it in ages - it stands up IMO.  Title track is the stronger of the two, but the b-side "N. East by N. East" is a strong effort as well.

Note: runout etching reads "Girls got skin, call it a strtagy."  No idea what that is all about.
