Rating: 6.5 thief codes out of 10
The draw on this seven inch split between three bands is the first track, a live version of the great "Mansize Rooster" by Supergrass. One of their very best songs, and it's a good recording, though they do that thing I hate when I see bands live - have the crowd sing parts of the songs for them. I'm paying to hear the band do the singing, not these dumb dipshits around me!
One the B side, Ikara Colt is totally ripping off the Fall, but you could pick worse bands to rip off, and they don't do an awful job at it. Apostle of Hustle is...honestly, I don' have anything to say about them - boring jangly Canadian indie rock. I guess they have some connection to Broken Social Scene. It's not awful or anything, just meh.
