Rating: 8.5 extremist ties out of 10
I'm not entirely sure why I wasn't more into Bluetip back when they were in their heyday, because they certainly played the brand of post-hardcore music I loved - along the lines of Jawbox or Jawbreaker or maybe even some other bands that start with "Jaw." Plus they were on Dischord, and there was no bigger "check this band out solely because of the name" label than Dischord in those days as far as I was concerned. They very rarely led me astray. The title track was also on their album "Dischord No. 101," but the b-side "Ephadrephin" appears to only be on this releases and is well worth seeking out. I need to make a note to myself to go back and check out more of their music...
