The Grid is the first 12” release from New York City’s Pop. 1280, and comes on the heels of a self-released single and split 7” with Philadelphia’s Hot Guts. As dark and sinister as the Jim Thompson novel from which the band borrows their name these 9 dirges of skronky noir are the logical successor to the brand of scree practiced by forebearers the Chrome Cranks, Honeymoon Killers, and Pussy Galore, and along with contemporaries Twin Stumps, White Suns, Woman, and York Factory complaint are ushering in a new era of downer punk. |
