I've mentioned Kent 3 before - very underrated proto punk/garage band that I didn't get into until way after their heyday. They remind me of the A-Frames in all the best ways. This record has four songs total, two each side, and not a stinker in the bunch. I don't have anything else to say about it really. Quality rock music fuck yeah!
For the record there appears to be four member in Kent 3, at least on this release. Math is hard!

I think the Kent 3 had already ceased existing when I got turned onto their twitchy surf punk sound by a dude named Virgil. Their track "Cave Ball" is a pretty good representation of the band. Seems like you can always find them in the bargain bin, and they are definitely worth checking out.
The b-side is "What Sisters Do" by Leatherboy, a band I know nothing about and have only seen listed on this seven inch. Their track is in the same vein as the Kent 3, but a little grungier and dirtier. Can't find shit for them online and I looked for at least a couple of minutes!
