The Whip, what could have been. Got to see them play once at a friend's warehouse in Oakland, bought this seven inch from the band, and then shortly thereafter drummer Scott Jernigan got killed in a boating accident. The band was two-thirds of Karp (Scott & Jared Warren) plus Joe Preston, known for being in every damn band in the world from the Melvins to High on Fire to his own solo project Thrones. Now that is a serious fucking pedigree for any group, and both the recorded material and live performance absolutely lived up to the expectations. The two songs here account for the band's entire recorded output, and both tracks are perfect. There are live bootlegs to be found out there on the internets, and they're worth looking for. RIP Scott, but he left a lot of great art behind.
