The doubters can get back in their box. The Godfathers do what too many re-born bands of their vintage can’t and sound as convincing as they did in the ‘80s. This EP features two album cuts (one re-mixed) and a couple not on the record. .If guitar rock was struggling for critical acceptance back then, it’s positively underground and living in a leper colony these days - so turn it up a notch. You also need volume to appreciate the song that follows, “You’re So Slow”, which is all chugging, bristling guitars and a commanding Peter Coyne vocal.
“Defribillator (High Voltage Mix)” scorches as much as the LP track. The re-mix pushes one abrasive guitar to the fore. “Human Zoo” is a wordy diatribe on a drugged-up world, powered by Darren Birch’s funky bassline and the stabbing guitars of Steve Critall and Mauro Venegas.
Yes, it's a vinyl EP (of the 10-inch variety) and it's also a download.
