Repeat the Ending 7''
Matador
1994
Rating: 10 symbol cymbals out of 10
In the pantheon of bands who never got their due, Chavez has to be top 5. They had a big rock sound with catchy songs and a high level of musicianship. I listened to their full lengths basically on repeat for much of my college years. This record, on Coke bottle clear vinyl, was one of a handful of records I transferred to cassette so I could listen to it in my car. Eventually I purchased the "Pentagram Ring" EP, where both the title track and the b-side "Hack the Sides Away" could also be found. Later on they were also released on the compilation "Better Days Will Haunt You."
Now if we could just get Matador to re-release their two full-length albums on vinyl (they both seem to go for north of 50 bucks), I would be a very happy man.
