Papa Was A Shithead (September 25, Sophomore Lounge) is made up of a full-speed ahead punk rock Side A [thinking of Angry Samoans with a Reatards penchant for a neat hook] while Side B might confuse you with its country twang that delightfully roars on as you and everyone near the record player shouts along ‘I wish that I never had fed you.’ Either way, it’s nice to see such sonic diversity on a 7″ – a reminder that I should soon be checking out their recently released LP Shake My Head.
