Trash Knife / Dumb Vision: Split 7"
Split 7ā³ between Madison, WIās DUMB VISION and Philadelphia, PAās TRASH KNIFE
Our take: Split 7ā pairing Philadelphiaās Trash Knife with Madison, Wisconsinās Dumb Vision. Trash Knife are a known quantity around Sorry State as Iāve loved all of their previous releases. If you havenāt heard them before, they play snotty, hardcore-y punk that reminds me of the Avengers, but with melodic, Buzzcocks-type leads peppered throughout the songs. That formula remains intact for their three songs (if it aināt broke, donāt fix it!), but there are two key differences. First, with three songs crammed onto one side of a split 7ā, these songs are shorter and more to the point than previous Trash Knife songs. Second, the production here is piss raw, super noisy and blown out. I would have been skeptical that such raw production would work for Trash Knife since thereās so much going on in their music, but the nastiness brings out the bandās acerbic side and makes for a thrilling listen. As for Dumb Vision, this is the first time I've heard them. Theyāre more of a pop-punk band than Trash Knife (who always struck me as hardcore-meets-77-punk) and remind me of early Lookout!-era Queers or the first Lillingtons LP. However, their recording hasĀ just as much noise and filth as Trash Knifeās side, and while Iām not a big pop-punk guy the spoonful of vinegar helps this medicine go down.This is just the kind of no-nonsense punk split you donāt hear much anymore.
