Low Rollers / The Diskords
Split 7"

Rating: 5.5 acne breakouts out of 10
Ye gods, from the looks of the liner notes on this four song split, these kids are barely out of junior high. Pretty impressive when you judge it based on that fact, but not terribly impressive otherwise. The Diskords are slightly stronger here, most notably for their cover of Eddie Cochran’s “Summertime Blues”. Low Rollers tackle a cover of their own, Elvis’s “Trouble”. Both bands also contribute an original to the mess as well. This is low budget, simple fuzzy-guitar garage rawk like high school kids were playing all across the land in the sixties. Now it almost seems like a novelty for kids this age not to be playing some sort of rap-rock hybrid, so kudos to them for escaping that stupidity at least. At the going rate I’m sure we’ll here something great out of these kids in no time, maybe by the time they hit puberty or get old enough to drive.
